    The posterior spinocerebellar tract, also known as Flechsig's tract, is an ascending tract that conducts proprioceptive impulses from the periphery to the cerebellum through the spinal cord. It receives muscle and joint information from receptors in the muscles, tendons, and joints of the trunk and lower limbs. This information about muscle tension and movement is used by the cerebellum to coordinate limb movements and maintain posture.

    POSTERIOR SPINOCEREBELLAR TRACT


    Receive muscle joint information from:
    Muscle spindle
    Tendon organs
    Joint receptors of the trunk and lower limb

    Information concerning tension of muscle and


    the movements of muscles and joints is used by
    the cerebellum in coordination of limb
    movements and maintenance of posture.
