What is specific proprioception?
Lets take the classic case of an ankle sprain. A global proprioception of this articulation is generally suggested. The problem with these exercises is that they solicit a response from healthy ligaments and tendons without helping the ones that really need it. The knee is a complex system of femoro-tibial, femoro-patellar, fibulo-tibial, femorao-patellar, and femoro-fabella articulations. It is possible to reinforce the proprioception, and therefore the effectiveness, of ligaments specific to each articulation.
