Proprioception and muscular control play a fundamental role in dynamic joint stability. After orthopedic injuries, some motor-sensory characteristics are effected and must be focused on in rehabilitation programs in order to successfully return to pre-injury activities. Certain specific proprioceptive exercises should be initiated immediately after surgery, or after the proper treatment of the acute phase of injuries in order to improve the proprioceptive acuity and the anticipatory and reactive muscular response, reestablishing dynamic joint stability. In this article we focus on the original concept of proprioception, its contribution to the maintenance of dynamic joint stability, the influence of injuries on the proprioceptive acuity, proprioceptive and neuromuscular control training.
