Excerpt
Changes in proprioception (movement and position perception), facilitated by alterations in muscle spindle afferent activity, arise following repetitive muscle activity, especially if fatigue ensues. Consequently, a hypothesis was put forth that work-related musculoskeletal disorders (both in the genesis and spread of muscle pain) might be attributed to diminished proprioceptive function.
