Neurol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Lumbar proprioception is the cornerstone for maintaining dynamic spinal stability, postural control, and central sensorimotor regulation. Clinically, proprioceptive deficits are closely tied to the occurrence and recurrence of degenerative lumbar diseases and chronic non-specific low back pain (CLBP). Despite its clinical relevance, objectively and accurately quantifying this metric remains highly controversial methodologically. This review provides a structured overview comparing existing evaluation tools, mapping their technical characteristics and clinical feasibility. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, a literature search was conducted via PubMed and Web of Science databases utilizing Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms related to \u201clumbar spine\u201d and \u201cproprioception,\u201d supplemented by keywords including \u201cmotion sense,\u201d \u201cvibration sense,\u201d and \u201cforce sense.\u201d Among direct metrics, position sense via inclinometer-based active joint repositioning is most widely applied, whereas motion, force, and vibration senses are less utilized. Within position sense tracking, common clinical tools like dual inclinometry and tape measurement demonstrate weak concurrent validity, large errors, and low test\u2013retest reliability, with absolute reliability further obscured by the lack of a \u201cgold standard.\u201d Furthermore, distinct direct metrics (motion threshold, active repositioning, and passive repositioning) lack significant inter-modal correlation. While postural balance offers a more holistic analysis of lumbar function than isolated components, its application remains limited as it is highly susceptible to confounding factors and fails to isolate or directly represent localized peripheral mechanoreceptor proprioception. In conclusion, although a multitude of methodologies have emerged, the inclinometer-based active joint repositioning paradigm demonstrates the highest feasibility in routine clinical practice. However, a universally accepted gold standard remains persistently absent, and objective quantification requires further comprehensive exploration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2026.1747474","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,29]],"date-time":"2026-06-29T04:26:03Z","timestamp":1782707163000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Current
