Spinal health during unloading and reloading associated with spaceflight
DA Green, JPR Scott - Frontiers in physiology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Spinal elongation and back pain are recognized effects of exposure to microgravity,
however, spinal health has received relatively little attention. This changed with the report of …

Age-related changes in trunk muscle activity and spinal and lower limb kinematics during gait
The influence of age on spinal muscle activation patterns and its relation to kinematics is
poorly understood. We aimed at understanding age-related changes to spine and trunk …

The effects of reconditioning exercises following prolonged bed rest on lumbopelvic muscle volume and accumulation of paraspinal muscle fat
Reduced muscle size and accumulation of paraspinal muscle fat content (PFC) have been
reported in lumbopelvic muscles after spaceflights and head-down tilt (HDT) bed rest. While …
