Final answer:

The sensory cortex processes and integrates sensory information during movement but does not initiate muscle contractions; that role belongs to the motor cortex.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the sensory cortex during movement includes processing visual information, interpreting proprioceptive signals, and integrating sensory feedback.

However, it does not have the function of initiating muscle contractions, as this is the role of the motor cortex. The sensory cortex is involved in the reception and processing of sensory information such as visual inputs, proprioception (which includes the body's ability to perceive its position in space), and the integration of this information to aid in the coordination of movement.
