(Special considerations with respect to limb position are applied in human anatomy-see below).
Physical therapy and orthopedic appliances (such as splints) may be needed to maximize muscle function and maintain limb position.
The resulting poor limb positions can lead to the acceleration of degenerative joint conditions.
As a postural model that keeps track of limb position, it plays an important role in control of action.
The peripheral nervous system has the ability to understand touch, pressure, vibration, limb position, heat, Cold, and Pain.
In addition biosensors receive information about the limb position and force from the limb and actuator.
The telemetry that provides feedback of limb position was missing.
The somatic sensory system includes the sensations of touch, pressure, vibration, limb position, heat, cold, and pain.
His experiments showed that even without conscious awareness of limb position, humans could move accurately to desired locations in space.
Even his Idnesthetic sense, his awareness of bodily attitude and relative limb position, was missing, suppressed, he supposed, by drugs or other means.
