Proprioceptor nerves in the joints have become accustomed to stretch and position and can function autonomously after much 'training'. We know where our extremities are in space without looking, but this is often impaired after a drink or two. Typists and musicians rely 100% on proprioceptor function, as do drivers. Many people drive to work and on arrival can't remember doing anything to achieve that goal. Clever old joints, eh?
