Kinesthetic perception is an aspect of somesthetic perception and is the perception of bodily movement and the position and movement of the limbs and other aspects of the musculoskeletal system that maintains posture.
Proprioception refers to kinaesthetic awareness. Proprioception occurs as a consequence of the integration of vestibular input, visual input and tissue mechanoreceptor input to the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. It is thought that mechanoreceptor input is of the utmost importance for proprioception. Thus, mechanoreceptors give rise to local segmental reflexes and suprasegmental proprioceptive reflex effects. The word proprioceptor is a misnomer, as no somatosensory receptor functions solely in proprioceptive mechanisms.
