That sounds intredasting, how does ice or cold cause proprioception loss?
Lack of sensation. With a lack of sensation its hard to tell where your limb or appendage is in relation to itself. Combine that with an injury you may be nursing and keeping immobile or less active, you are basically hitting it twice.
Again im not saying we dont use ice in rehab etc but we have become more selective with it over the years. We look at the goal and see if the physiology of what cold sensation does matches up to an extent worth using.
