Summary. Joint and muscle injury associated with direct damage to the tissues and muscle atrophy may ensue following immobility. Rehabilitation of the injury is linked with the return to normal functional values such as range of motion, muscle strength, and muscle tone. It is, however, likely that subtle changes or differences still exist in the site of injury or haemarthrosis. In particular proprioception may be distorted due to the direct injury of sensory receptors and to feedback systems. The implications of such damage are important, where proprioception plays an important part in the control, timing and organisation of coordinated bodily actions.
