Proprioception encompasses three aspects, known as the ‘ABC of proprioception’. These are: agility, balance and coordination. Agility is the capacity to control the direction of the body or body part during rapid movements, while balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium by keeping the line of gravity of the body within the body's base of support. Coordination is the smoothness of an activity. This is produced by a combination of muscles acting together with appropriate intensity and timing.
