Close your eyes and wave your hand around. At no time will you lose awareness where the hand actually is even though you are not using any of your other senses. Proprioception is the "unconscious" awareness of where the various regions of the body are located at any one time. Developed by the nervous system, proprioception is a means to keep track of and control the different parts of the body. Proprioception could be called a sixth sense, the ability we use to know where our body is in space. It gives us the ability, for example, to move through our home when it’s dark, just using the mental picture of the space stored in our mind.
