This study primarily explores the individual’s understanding of self-body perception information, namely proprioceptive accuracy. This information originates from mechanoreceptors in various parts of the motor system and tactile receptors in the skin, providing critical evidence for assessing sensorimotor function. However, a standardized method for evaluating proprioceptive accuracy has not yet been widely accepted. This paper is a systematic study aimed at identifying and classifying different methods for assessing various aspects of proprioceptive accuracy. We conducted literature searches in multiple domestic and international databases, including Wan Fang, VIP, Baidu Scholar, SCIE, PubMed, SPORTD iscus, Science Direct, and SpringerLink. The results show that we retrieved 1,386 scientific papers, from which 739 were eliminated after screening, ultimately including 647. These cover eight different aspects of proprioception: joint position sense, movement and range of motion perception, trajectory perception, speed perception, force level perception, muscle tension perception, weight perception, and object size perception. These methods employed three psychophysical approaches: variable adjustment measurement, constant measurement, and threshold measurement. However, the results for different body parts were unrelated to different tasks, indicating that proprioceptive accuracy is site-specific and method-specific. Therefore, appropriate measurement methods need to be chosen based on theoretical considerations and ecological validity.
