What is proprioception, how to you train to improve it & why is it important?

Proprioception is a critical part of recovery after ACL reconstruction. Surgery and injury disrupt your body’s ability to sense joint position and movement, which affects balance, coordination, and reaction time. Strength alone is not enough. Proprioceptive training helps retrain the nervous system to control the knee under dynamic and unpredictable conditions, reducing the risk of re-injury and improving confidence when returning to sport and daily activities.

Why landing with proprioception matters after ACLR? After an ACL reconstruction, the knee loses part of its neuromuscular feedback system. That means your body isn’t as good at sensing joint position, absorbing force, or stabilizing during fast movements. That’s where proprioceptive landing drills come in. They help you: • Re-train joint position sense and restore the sensory role the ACL used to provide. • Improve neuromuscular activation so the muscles fire at the right time during impact. • B
