title: [The nerve supply of the knee joint].
abstract: The paper presents the present state of research on the most important receptors of joints and muscles with regard to occurrence, structure, and function. Proprioception relies on the nervous supply of the tissues in the knee joint, and on the surrounding muscles and tendons; it is the basis of coordination.
