NPR has run a story and a sequel about a family that walks on its hands. Genes were examined. Effort was made to re-train them. Some success reported. Well, in all this, no mention of the role of propriosensors in the foot. Ever wonder how a toddler takes that first step? Or for that matter, how do you stay upright? Doctor Science knows. That family probably had deficient propriosensors.
