Since proprioception and somatosensory information from the feet are essential for balance and gait control, assessing lower limb proprioception is crucial in understanding the impact of neurological conditions, injuries, and aging on mobility and quality of life. However, evaluating proprioceptive function in the lower limbs remains challenging due to the complexity of sensory-motor integration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review discusses various methods for assessing lower limb proprioception, such as joint position sense, kinaesthesia, and force sense tests, while addressing their limitations.
