Are you suggesting that the visually impaired somehow have diminished proprioception?

- coldtea 10y agoI guess I am. And even worse for those with impaired sense of touch etc. You say it like it's some kind of preposterous claim.
- rosser 10y agoFrom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception — emphasis added. "In humans, it is provided by proprioceptors in skeletal striated muscles (muscle spindles) and tendons (Golgi tendon organ) and the fibrous capsules in joints." "A major component of proprioception is joint position sense, which is determined by measuring the accuracy of joint–angle replication. Clinical aspects of joint position sense are measured in joint position matching tests that measure a subject's ability to detect an externally imposed passive movement, or the ability to reposition a joint to a predetermined position. These involve an individual's ability to perceive the position of a joint without the aid of vision."
