proprioception is important to keep balance as it involves the sending of messages from an affected or injured part of the body to the brain. eg balance can be affected after knee replacement surgery,the messages not getting to the brain cause you to jump as your body is uncertain where the leg is positioned.The movement causes the signals to activate the sensation again and balance is restored.
