Hypogravity simulation using the Variable Gravity Suspension System: A technical report [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyHuman movement has evolved within Earth's gravitational environment (1 g; −9.81 m s−2). Future human exploration of terrestrial bodies, including the Moon (0.17 g; −1.62 m s−2) and Mars (0.38 g; −3.71 m s−2), will require astronauts to live and work ...

Blindfolded hypogravity adaptation differentially affects motor and cognitive systems [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionMotor adaptation is essential for human movement and is strongly influenced by visual feedback as evidenced by motor and cognitive aftereffects following visuomotor adaptation. In some cases, these aftereffects are also transferred to related

An Empirical and Subjective Model of Upper Extremity Fatigue Under Hypogravity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In the context of extra-terrestrial missions, the effects of hypogravity (0 < G < 1) on the human body can reduce the well-being of the crew, cause musculoskeletal problems and affect their ability to perform tasks, especially during long-term ...

Perceptual and sensorimotor adaptations to hypogravity: implications for manual task performance and verticality perception [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyHypogravity environments (e.g., 1/6 g on the Moon and 3/8 g on Mars, where gravity is lower than on Earth) profoundly alter the sensorimotor mechanisms underlying spatial orientation, perception, and manual task execution. Understanding these adaptations

Human movement in simulated hypogravity—Bridging the gap between space research and terrestrial rehabilitation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 Human movement is optimized to Earth's gravity and based on highly complex interactions between sensory and neuro-muscular systems. Yet, humans are able to adapt—at least partially—to extreme environments upon and beyond Earth's surface.

The effect of combined compression and tactile stimulation on ankle somatosensation in a lunar gravity lower limb load analog [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyAnkle somatosensation appears to be negatively affected when in simulated hypogravity (gravity, 1 > g < 0). Developing countermeasures to reduce this negative effect is necessary for sensorimotor control as astronauts prepare to explore the Moon ...
