Limits to fast-conducting somatosensory feedback in movement control

Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2006 Jan;34(1):22-8. doi: 10.1097/00003677-200601000-00006.

Abstract

Somatosensory feedback occurs during every movement performed. The transmission of this feedback is dynamically regulated during movement. This review addresses the limits of somatosensory feedback control of human movement and proposes that dynamic modification of feedback inflow requires an increased reliance on internal models for movement control.
