So much of the information available online is focused on proprioception in the first decade of an individual’s life. For late-diagnosed, high-functioning adults, whole lifespan guidance like this is extremely helpful and immensely appreciated.
I am 42 years old and this video has really opened my eyes. People just avoid me because I didn't realize I was doing most of these things. And how people made me feel like something was wrong with me. Which I have vauled the alone time I finally am able to understand myself . I get easily distracted when around others. I finally am able to see how smart and creative I am. So I just laugh and am internally relieved to have alone time
Tactile feed back was the only way I could manage. I had a brain infection that literally carved out my cerebellum. I lost most of my fine motor control. I don't recall having exaggerated motion or under active motion. Mostly I'd simply freeze in place. Usually when my attention was distracted, or the terrain changed. Watch for these. Also, having tactile input straightened me right out. It had to be solid, like the counter. Holding to my wife helped, but it didn't stabilize me. I haven't seen much on proprioception dysfunction due to brain damage, or even for adult onset. Doctors seem to think it is limited to children. I was left with years of unanswered questions, to say nothing of overwhelming medical bills for useless advice. The brain is marvelously plastic. It took years but I have regained near normal gross motor control. Fine motor control still doesn't work very well. But we adapt. If they tell you it is all in your head, tell them that's just an excuse to relieve them of the burden to look for the cause.
Interesting. Just as I was beginning to suffer proprioception dysfunction I started really pushing myself in heavy work. I had never associated that with my ailment until watching this video. For those wondering how one might "begin to suffer proprioception disorder," it was due to a cerebellar brain infection.
Very helpful. It was looking up info because my daughter was seeing an OT and she talked about proprioception. Six years ago I started lifting weights. I just loooove lifting weights. And I'm so much nicer afterwards. I always chalked that up to endorphins. Then we started mowing my Mom's lawn a couple of years ago and I was surprised at how much I love to mow (with the push mower). It just occurred to me a couple of days ago that both these activities give proprioceptive input and that I must have a deficit in that area. 🤯🤯🤯
wow I do both of those with tiptoes and walking on my tiptoes and/or walking with heavy feet now as an adult...OMG and SPD Oh my goodness wish I saw this video when I was 5

It's all starting to make sense!!! Thank you.

Very informative video ladies!
This really helps, thank you so much. This will help people with trauma
I also do not stop and sit down unless I eat. Until at least midnight. I can't stop
I used to get made fun of for eating while walking 🤣🤣🤣

Do you have any resources for traumatised people who can't feel body in space or internal interoception
Pianists have to have good proprioception
