This article isn't directly related to proprioception, but you may
find it interesting / relevant:-
Gauthier-Gagnon, C. et al (1986) Augmented sensory feedback in the
early training of standing balance in below-knee amputees.
Physio Canada 38; 137-142
Measurements of COP movement are taken during quiet stance from
amputees and healthy subjects.......and the postural sway of the
amputees is less than that of the healthy subjects and decreases with
training.......very interesting!
