What does proprioception mean?
The sense of the relative position and movement of one's own body in space, and the ability to sense the position and movement of one's own body without looking at it. This sense is mediated by proprioceptors in muscles, tendons, and joints.
Example
"The gymnast relied on her proprioception to perform a flawless dismount from the balance beam."
