The Effect of Lower Leg Sensory Impulses on the Force Sense of Knee Extensor Muscles in Healthy Adults: The Accuracy of Sense-of-Force Studies

Producing the target force of a muscle group by using visual feedback and reproducing the same force fully blind are regarded as the common approach for quantifying the sense of force. Force sense error is considered as the difference between the produced target force and reproduced force. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of the tactile sensory feedback in the lower leg on the perceived magnitude of force sense.
