Proprioception (proh-pree-oh-SEP-shun) is the body’s sense of its own position and movement, the reason you can tell where your arm is even with your eyes closed. It relies on receptors in the muscles, joints, and skin that constantly report back to the brain. In CMT, proprioception is often disturbed as the sensory nerves are affected, which contributes to balance problems and unsteadiness, and it can sometimes be improved with specialized therapy.
When Medicine Lost Its Compass
Evidence failed not because it was wrong, but because it was weaponized. I lived the downstream effects of that failure for more than a decade. This is what happens when medicine forgets that data always ends in a human being.
