What does JPS stand for?

Using a passive reproduction test, we assessed ankle joint position sense (JPS) for test positions between 30 and -10 degrees plantarflexion with an inclement of 10 degrees with or without 20[degrees] inversion at each plantarflexion angle.

The conflicting findings regarding differences in joint position sense and standing balance in older people between barefoot and shod conditions may be attributed to methodological differences.

The effect of a neoprene sleeve on knee joint position sense.

This type of spinal cord lesion results in diminished muscle strength and joint position sense on the same side of the body as the cord damage and loss of pin prick sensation on the side of the body opposite the cord lesion.

Cryotherapy, has been shown to have no effect on joint position sense or sensory perception and therefore, proprioception appears to be unaffected by the use of cold in the treatment of athletic injuries (Ingersoll et al.

33) Joint position sense was measured at the first metacarpophalengeal joint following standard clinical techniques.

Joint Position Sense Ankle joint position sense, defined operationally as the ability to replicate joint positions using active or passive movement cues, has usually been measured in an open-kinetic chain mode and in a uniplanar mid-range position, with the subject positioned either in supine (Konradsen et al 1998) or in a seated position (Eils and Rosenbaum 2001, Feuerbach et al 1994, Holme et al 1999, Konradsen and Magnusson, 2000).

12,13) Traditionally, tests of threshold to perception of passive movement (TPM) and joint position sense (JPS) have been used.
