Abstract
Background:
Proprioception is our body's ability to sense its position, movement, and spatial orientation. It's allowed to know where the body parts are without having to look at them. This sense is possible due to proprioceptors such as specialized sensory receptors located in muscles, tendons, and joints. Better proprioception helps to maintain balance, coordinate movements, and have a sense of body awareness. Proprioception is essential for activities like walking, writing, and even simple tasks like picking up objects. It works along with other sensory systems to create overall sense of awareness and coordination.
Aim and Objective:
To find the immediate effect of eccentric loading of knee extensors on proprioception between dominant and non-dominant lower limbs in adult females.
Material and Methods:
Twenty females of age between 18-23 years were selected based on the inclusion criteria and allocated to a single group. The eccentric loading of knee extensors was done in dominant and non-dominant lower limbs. The pre-test and post-test single leg hop test readings were recorded.
Results:
Data analysis was done by using unpaired t-test. There was a statically significant difference noted (p ≤ 0.05) between the dominant and non-dominant lower limbs on single leg hop test, with a mean 81.35 ± 9.18 and 69.30 ± 11.74 respectively and t = 3.6156.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the eccentric loading of knee extensors on proprioception between dominant and non-dominant lower limbs showed statistically significant difference.
