Proprioception is critical for accurate movement. It enables communication from the periphery to the central nervous system (CNS), which is required for the body to acquire joint position awareness and maintain a desired postural orientation and overall position in space. There are three types of conscious proprioceptive senses: kinesthesia, joint position sense, and force sense [1, 2]. All of them, especially force sense, play a role in good neuromuscular control. Force sense is defined as the ability to detect and interpret forces applied to or generated within a joint [3]. Force sense is measured by the performance accuracy of individuals during force reproduction tasks, which are defined as tasks in which individuals are instructed to produce target forces and reproduce these forces [4].
Different types of pinch grips (tip pinch, palmar pinch, key pinch [5,6,7,8,9]) or combinations of these pinch grips with different force levels are frequently used in workplaces. Workers in various occupations, such as mechanics, repair persons, and engineers, must maintain various pinch grips at constant, submaximum force levels using various hand tools and equipment when performing a wide range of operations, from the assembly of small electronic parts to the assembly of large airplanes. Spontaneously pinching an object is a complex motor task since a sufficient pinch force must be applied to prevent slipping and, at the same time, excessive force must be avoided to prevent the object from being crushed or the person from experiencing unnecessary fatigue.
