What is proprioception?
Subconscious self regulation of posture and movement through receptors in joints, tendons, and muscles combined with the vestibular system.
Sequence of altered proprioception in relation to SD?
Inappropriate CNS interpretation of position leads to poor body positioning, firing sequence, load distribution which causes the wrong muscles to be overly exerted and increases the risk of injury.
Symptoms of chronic SD?
Local effects involve vasculature and lymphatics. Systemic effects include neruomuscular compensation (postural decompensation and altered proprioception).
