Sensing Position and Movements of the Fingers

DI McCloskey, G Macefield, SC Gandevia and D Burke

Normal subjects are able to sense movements imposed on the fingers or to sense altered positions of the fingers. These senses may be mediated by sensory receptors in muscles that operate on a joint, in the capsules and ligmaents of the joints, and in the related skin. Although much has been learned about proprioception from experiments on the fingers, some properties of digital proprioception are quite unusual.
