Ability to discriminate movements at the ankle and knee is joint specific.
Measures of discrimination for movements of different extent at the ankle (inversion) and knee (flexion) were obtained for the right and left legs from 59 male footballers. The finding of significant association between discriminability scores at common joints was interpreted in terms of the motor program.
