Dry immersion (DI) is one of the most widely used ground models of microgravity. DI
accurately and rapidly reproduces most of physiological effects of short-term space flights …

Dry immersion, which is a ground-based model of prolonged conditions of microgravity, is
widely used in Russia but is less well known elsewhere. Dry immersion involves immersing …

Introduction Exposure to microgravity causes alterations in multiple physiological systems,
potentially impacting the ability of astronauts to perform critical mission tasks. The goal of …

Epidural stimulation (ES) of the lumbosacral spinal cord has been used to facilitate standing
and voluntary movement after clinically motor-complete spinal-cord injury. It seems of …

Skeletal muscles, being one of the most abundant tissues in the body, are involved in many
vital processes, such as locomotion, posture maintenance, respiration, glucose …

INTRODUCTION: Postflight postural ataxia reflects both the control strategies adopted for
movement in microgravity and the direct effects of deconditioning. Computerized dynamic …

Astronauts experience post-flight disturbances in postural and locomotor control due to
sensorimotor adaptations during spaceflight. These alterations may have adverse …

We aimed to explore the effect of the 3-day dry immersion, a model of physical unloading, on
mitochondrial function, transcriptomic and proteomic profiles in a slow-twitch soleus muscle …

Skeletal muscle is capable of changing its structural parameters, metabolic rate and
functional characteristics within a wide range when adapting to various loading regimens …

Background The most applicable human models of weightlessness are− 6° head-down bed
rest (HDBR) and head-out dry immersion (DI). A detailed experimental comparison of …
