| Description | Inner body perception is a multisensory type of body perception that relates primarily to interoception, proprioception, and the vestibular system. Inner body perception may be disturbed in people with eating disorders (EDs), causing distortions or mismatches between how the body is perceived and how the body physically is. Despite this, there has been no systematic review that directly investigate inner body perception, and in particularly across anorexia and bulimia nervosa. To address these gaps, we conducted a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines. Twenty-six studies were included. Deficits in interoception and proprioception were observed across anorexia and bulimia nervosa, suggesting that alteration of inner body perception might be a crucial feature of eating disorders. From this perspective, inner body deficits in anorexia and bulimia nervosa represent a promising field that needs to be further explored, with the ultimate goal of developing new treatments that enhance the role of the inner experience as a therapeutic instrument. |
