Answer

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.
