| Abstract | Introduction: Proprioception is the sense of knowing of joint position and kinesthetic movement. Proprioceptivefeedback is also an importance in the control of voluntary movements. Impaired proprioceptive acuity with advancingage is an interesting topic for study.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the constant error of joint position sense (CEJPS) of thelower extremities between the young adult (20-35 yr.), middle-aged adult (40-55 yr.) and older adult (60-75 yr.)groups, and to compare the CEJPS between dominant and non-dominant legs in each individual group.Material and methods: Twenty subjects in each group were blinded and instructed to be measured the error of jointposition sense (EJPS) of both dominant and non-dominant legs in standing position, and the EJPS was calculatedto be the CEJPS for statistical analysis. The CEJPS of all groups was analyzed by one way ANOVA for betweensubject effects, and were compared within subject effect by paired sample t-test.Results: For between subject effects, the CEJPS of the lower extremities of all groups was significantly different inboth dominant and non-dominant legs at p=0.000 and p=0.001, respectively. The CEJPS of the older adult groupwas significantly higher than the young adult and middle-aged adult groups, while the CEJPS between the youngadult and middle-aged adult groups was not different. In other hand, for within subject effect, the CEJPS of bothdominant and non-dominant legs in all groups was not different.Conclusions: Advancing age was significantly influenced on the increasing of the CEJPS of lower extremities, andthe difference between dominant and non-dominant legs was not influence on the joint position sense of the lowerextremities. |
