Proprioceptive training and self-assessment The MAS Protocol Pilot

Research Aim

Can a self-evaluation protocol combined with guided 3D movement improve awareness of proprioception, postural alignment, and movement symmetry?

Study Format

Single-case design using a structured pre/post evaluation battery.

Participant L:

48 years old, regularly practiced the 3D method for over a year. Active lifestyle, no reported health limitations.

Intervention:

A one-week personalized program using 3D movement practices designed specifically by Zarina del Mar for Participant L. In addition to the daily movement sessions, the participant completed a series of complementary activities including video-recorded motor tests, somatic self-screening, and body mapping exercises. All movement sessions were analyzed using Kinovea software and evaluated by two independent experts.

Key Benefits Reported

  • Enhanced perception of postural asymmetries and segmental control
  • Greater clarity of internal body map and spatial orientation
  • Improved performance in single-leg balance and coordination tasks
  • Enhanced body awareness and a more coherent body schema

Conclusion

This study supports the hypothesis that 3D movement practice, combined with self-education and self-evaluation tools, can enhance proprioception, sensorimotor precision, and postural awareness.
