Proprioceptors, stretch-reflex receptors.
The myotatic reflex is provoked by activation of muscle spindles in a stretched muscle. These muscle spindles are sensory receptors that detect changes in muscle length and help regulate muscle contraction and body position. When a muscle is stretched, the muscle spindles send signals to the spinal cord, leading to a reflex contraction to prevent overstretching.

They measure the rate of change of length of a muscle.
Muscle spindles are sensory receptors that monitor muscle tone. They are located within the muscle belly and are sensitive to changes in muscle length and stretch, providing feedback to the central nervous system about the state of muscle contraction.
