| Popis: |
In a zero-gravity environment, astronauts exhibit Bone Mineral Density (BMD) loss in their spine and lower extremities with no net changes in the upper extremities [1]. Astronauts use their upper extremities for locomotion in flight by pushing off of the walls of the spacecraft, but since their lower extremities are not supporting their mass, as in gravitational loading, there is significant BMD loss in these areas. |
