Recent publications on the sensory innervation of wrist ligaments have challenged our understanding of ligaments as mere passive restraints in wrist stability. Mechanoreceptors in ligaments have a role in signaling joint perturbations, in which the afferent information is believed to influence periarticular muscles. The scapholunate interosseous ligament is one of the most richly innervated ligaments in the wrist. The purpose of our study was to investigate the possible existence of a wrist proprioceptive reflex, by which afferent information elicited in the scapholunate interosseous ligament was hypothesized to influence the muscles moving the wrist joint.
