This week, the new article from the Ergonomics site at BellaOnline.com is on Proprioception. This may sound like a strange and difficult term, but believe me...you live with it every day.

Proprioception - Your Internal Mapping Tool

The article describes the Proprioceptive Sense, the way the body informs us where we are in relation to ourselves. It relates this sense to Ergonomics and discusses how altered sensation may affect those with Repetitive Strain Injuries or Musculo Skeletal Injuries.

If you or someone you know has one of these injuries, this article should have some good information for you.
