Kinesthesia

Kinesthesia is the sense that allows you to perceive your body's position, movement, and coordination in space without relying on sight. It enables you to feel where your limbs are, how fast they’re moving, and the effort involved, helping you perform everyday tasks smoothly. This sense is mediated by specialized sensors in muscles, joints, and tendons that send information to your brain about body position and movement. Kinesthesia is essential for activities like walking, typing, or sports, allowing for precise, coordinated motion based on internal feedback.
