AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
What does kinesthesis involve?
Answer:
Consciousness
Question:
What are the 4 main contributors to Kinesthesis?
Answer:
Sense of: - position/movement of limbs - tension and force - effort/heaviness -
body image and posture
Question:
What's the difference between kinestheia and pro-prioception?
Answer:
Proprio is sense of where our body is in space which can be
subconscious/reflecive. Kinesth is sense of movements which is behavioural
and conscious.
Question:
What is ex-afference?
Answer:
Generated by an external force and exteroceptors in response to external
stimulation.
Question:
What is re-afference?
Answer:
Generated by your own movements. Exteroceptor info results from a
self-generated movement.
Question:
What are two main ways to assess kinesthesia and proprioception?
Answer:
Matching tasks and discrimination tasks
Question:
In a matching task, what are the two components being compared?
Answer:
The target/reference limb and the indicator limb
Question:
What is a simultaneous matching task?
Answer:
Both limbs are used at the same time to match positions
Question:
What is a successive matching task?
, Answer:
A single limb performs the task one after the other, relying on memory
Question:
What is an advantage of successive matching tasks?
Answer:
Only one limb is needed
Question:
What is a disadvantage of successive matching tasks?
Answer:
They rely on memory
Question:
What is the purpose of discrimination tasks in proprioception assessment?
Answer:
To determine when a person can detect a difference in limb position
Question:
What are the main sources of kinesthesia and proprioception?
Answer:
Muscle spindles
Question:
What type of afferent fiber carries information from muscle spindles?
Answer:
Afferent = 1a
Question:
What happens when a tendon is vibrated?
Answer:
It creates a kinesthetic illusion (feeling of movement that isn't real)
Question:
In the Pinocchio Effect, why does the illusion occur?
Answer:
The spindle signals override other sensory information, tricking the brain into
perceiving movement
Question:
Do other sensory sources (besides muscle spindles) cause kinesthetic illusions
with vibration?
Answer:
No
Question:
What is sensory dominance?
Answer:
Conflict arises and brain chooses one over other sensory information
Question:
What cant the person see for the kinesthetic illusion be effective?
