Online published on 19 June, 2015. Abstract Objective To examine the correlation between knee joint position sense and jump motion control ability in normal healthy untrained individuals pre and post proprioceptive training. Method Pre and post proprioceptive training, forty subjects jumped 3 times with blindfold to each of what they thought was 25%, 50% and 75% of their maximum jump distance; also they reproduced 150, 450 and 600 of knee angles. Measurements Each subject was pre tested and post tested for 25%, 50% and 75% of their maximum jump distance and 150, 450 and 600 of knee angles. Results Statistical tests show a relationship between jump distance and knee joint flexion angles after the proprioceptive training which was not present before the training. Conclusion Proprioceptive training improved knee joint position sense and its correlation with jump motion control ability.
