- Evaluation of Proprioception
- timeFrame
- 10 minutes
- description
- Joint position sense: While the patient lies in the prone position, 15-45-60 degrees of knee flexion will be evaluated in 2 different ways: eyes open and eyes closed. Participants will be asked to find the target angle they have been taught with their eyes closed and will be asked to say "here" in the position where they think they have reached the target angle.
