Core Tip	Knee proprioception contributes to sensorimotor control across aging, knee osteoarthritis, and postoperative recovery. This review highlights the clinical value of interpreting proprioceptive findings alongside assessments of balance, gait, strength, and functional performance, and of integrating targeted sensorimotor training into individualized rehabilitation. Emerging digital technologies may support monitoring and personalization, but their routine use requires adequate clinical validation and consideration of accessibility, adherence, and data privacy.
