Risk of Impaired Control of Spacecraft/ Associated Systems and Decreased Mobility Due to Vestibular/ Sensorimotor Alterations Associated with Space Flight
Exposure to altered gravity leads to changes in sensorimotor/vestibular function that manifest in motion sickness, spatial disorientation, decrements in postural control and locomotion, and manual and fine motor control deficits. It takes hours to days for the body to readapt to gravity upon landing, with associated balance issues and visual inconsistencies. The risk of impairment […]
