The main findings are that proprioceptive development between the ages of 5 and 18 years is not characterized as a development of decreasing bias, or inversely an increase in the accuracy of sensing. Instead, it is understood as a development where the precision improves with age.
How does proprioception change with age?
An age-related decline in the proprioception is most likely associated with a decrease in the dynamic response of muscle spindles and the atrophy of axons that cause defects in the processing and input of sensory information. This reduces the speed of translation by nerve fibres.
Do babies have proprioception?
With poor processing, babies may bump into furniture (vestibular and proprioceptive systems) as they roll, crawl or walk, as they have not yet developed a good awareness of where their body is in space. Some babies are very sensitive to sensory input.
