A total of 317 literatures related to proprioception training included from 2000 to 2021 in the Chinese knowledge base (CNKI) were used as research objects, and the related data were analyzed and processed by CiteSpace software.To understand the evolution process and research hot spots of proprioception training research.The results showed that :(1) There was an overall increasing trend in the volume of publications in the research field of proprioception training, which can be roughly divided into three stages according to the trend of annual volume changes, including budding, development, and stability period. (2) Medical journals have published more results about proprioception training than sports based journals, and medicine has paid more attention to proprioception training than sports. (3)Among the research institution cooperation network of proprioception training, those in Shanghai region had a larger cooperation network, and the remaining research institutions had less or no cooperation. (4) There are insufficient numbers of core authors of proprioception training studies to form a high-yielding author group at this time. (5)Research focus on proprioception training has been within the field of rehabilitation, especially for lower extremity injuries. Analysis of proprioception training research reveals that the method is more applied and more effective in rehabilitation, but less so in sports. In the context of somatosensory integration, future investigators may try to introduce proprioception training from the rehabilitation domain into the sports domain to benefit more people from proprioception training.
