I Need to Understand the Exact Meaning of This Word "proprioceptive"
Jonathan Cole (1995) writes about an unusual case of a man who lost his capacity for "proprioceptive"sensation and appeared to be paralyzed.
I wonder if that man lost the sensations which were related to touch or it is more broaden word! It is so important for me to know which sensation he exactly lost!
Thanks millions times in advance!

'proprioceptor' is a noun. It refer to a sensory receptor, found chiefly in muscles, tendons, joints, and the inner ear, that detects the motion or position of the body or a limb by responding to stimuli arising within the organism. 'proprioceptive' is the adjective describing the sensory receptor.

proprioceptive sensations are the sensations that carry info about your muscles and where they are and are they contracted or relaxed, he didn't lose any skin sensation at all, he still can sense touch, fine or crude, temperature and pain. He just doesn't know where his muscles are :) so he can't give the order to move them. Hope you got my point, If you want more info about it just ask. and It's NOT that unusual actually.
