Proprioception can be defined as a specialized variation of touch that encompasses the sensation of joint movement(kinesthesia) and joint position(static joint position sense). Several types of joint and muscular mechanoreceptors provide proprioceptive information for joint stability. Joint mechanoreceptors have been classified into four types based of activation characteristics : Ruffini endings, Pacinian corpuscles, Golgi tendon organlike endings, free nerve endings. The paper review the morphology, distrubution, function of mechanoreceptors in shoulder joint.
