Title: Demonstrate safe techniques to enhance proprioception for self and others, explaining each technique.
Course: Sports Medicine/Athletic Training II (Condensed) (14062-IIA) > Section: Preventing Injuries

Demonstration should include

- activities that safely challenge the individual to perform balance-oriented tasks in response to various stimuli
- stable or unstable and soft or firm surfaces
- differing levels of sensory input and balance and coordination drills under a variety of conditions.

Equipment and techniques used should reflect age, sport or activity, gender, and other individual considerations.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are key elements of safe and appropriate proprioception techniques?
- What is the role of proprioception in injury and/or reinjury prevention?
- What effects do stable or unstable and soft or firm surfaces have on proprioception? How does level of sensory input affect proprioception?
- What types of equipment are used to enhance proprioception?
- How is proprioception measured?
- How can proprioception be enhanced in situations with little or no traditional equipment?
- How do age, sport or activity, gender, and other individual considerations factor in the development of proprioception?
