Introduction: The idea behind the presentation of this case relates to utilizing space
technology in earth applications with mutual benefit for both patients confined to bed and …

Short-arm human centrifugation (SAHC) is proposed as a robust countermeasure to treat
deconditioning and prevent progressive disability in a case of secondary progressive …

Gravity plays a crucial role in physiology. The lack of gravity, like in long duration spaceflight
missions, cause pathologies in eg, the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular …

Objective: There are a number of physiological changes which occur in astronauts in both
short-and long-duration space missions, including nausea and spatial disorientation …

Human spaceflight exposes astronauts to prolonged periods of microgravity and high doses
of radiation, leading to life-threatening cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and neurological …

The limitations of the currently used exercise-based countermeasures and the scientific
rationale for the gravity-based countermeasures are addressed. Then, an overview of the …

Artificial gravity (AG) is the basic challenge for space biology and medicine. The importance
of this problem is associated with the fact that duration of the space missions will become …

Humans experience physiological deconditioning during space missions, primarily
attributable to weightlessness. Some of these adverse consequences include bone loss …

In spite of the experience gained in human space flight since Yuri Gagarin's historical flight
in 1961, there has yet to be identified a completely effective countermeasure for mitigating …

Current countermeasures to space flight related physiological deconditioning have not been
sufficiently effective. We believe that a comprehensive countermeasure is the combination of …
