Proprioception and Kinesthesia

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Proprioception is the sense of body position and kinesthesia is the sense of body movement, both from receptors in muscles and joints.

Show

Touching a fingertip to the nose with eyes closed requires neither vision nor touch.

Watch for

This sense is noticed almost only when it fails. Its absence is disabling in a way its presence never announces.
