Disuse and aging are known risk factors associated with low bone mass and quality
deterioration, resulting in increased fracture risk. Indeed, current and emerging evidence …

In this paper, we summarize the current and future research activities that will determine the
requirements for implementing artificial gravity (AG) to mitigate the effects of long duration …

Both microgravity and radiation exposure in the spaceflight environment have been
identified as hazards to astronaut health and performance. Substantial study has been …

The multifaceted adverse effects of reduced gravity pose a significant challenge to human
spaceflight. Previous studies have shown that bone formation by osteoblasts decreases …

Spaceflight poses a myriad of environmental stressors to astronauts´ physiology including
microgravity and radiation. The individual impacts of microgravity and radiation on the …

Objective: To compare the effects of anti-gravity treadmill rehabilitation with those of
standard rehabilitation on surgically treated ankle and tibial plateau fractures. Design: Open …

The loss of bone mass and alteration in bone physiology during space flight are one of the
major health risks for astronauts. Although the lack of weight bearing in microgravity is …

Exploration missions to the Moon or Mars will expose astronauts to galactic cosmic radiation
and low gravitational fields. Exposure to reduced weightbearing and radiation …

For decades, scientists have relied on animals to understand the risks and consequences of
space travel. Animals remain key to study the physiological alterations during spaceflight …

In the past 15 years, several group studies have identified the need to validate the role of
artificial gravity (AG) as countermeasure to physiological deconditioning during long …
