    • Type 1A afferent is the key proprioceptive source for information about the position of our body and limbs - tells us about the length of every muscle group in the body and that if they're lengthening, we know the speed they're lengthening at
    • Type 1A afferents also provide the afferent drive of spinal reflexes - information that triggers stretch reflexes, which is an important part of motor control
    • muscle are the key source of proprioceptive information that enables motor control, so muscle damage can also impact proprioceptive information
