The Three-Dimensional Body Center of Mass at the Workplace under Hypogravity [PDF]
Bioengineering, 2023 The center of mass dynamics of the seated posture of humans in a work environment under hypogravity (0 < g < 1) have rarely been investigated, and such research is yet to be carried out.

Hypogravity modeling of upper extremities: an investigation of manual handling in the workplace [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Experiments on the lower limbs are the only approaches being used to study how hypogravity (HG) (0 < g < 1, e.g., Moon: 1/6 g, Mars: 3/8 g) affects human movement.

A Resistive Soft Robotic Exosuit for Dynamic Body Loading in Hypogravity [PDF]
Advanced ScienceProlonged exposure to reduced gravity in space leads to bone demineralization and muscle atrophy, which current countermeasures of simple body loading can partially address.

Realizing the gravity of the simulation: adaptation to simulated hypogravity leads to altered predictive control [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyAccurate predictive abilities are important for a wide variety of animal behaviors. Inherent to many of these predictions is an understanding of the physics that underlie the behavior. Humans are specifically attuned to the physics on Earth but can learn

Ankle Somatosensation and Lower-Limb Neuromuscular Function on a Lunar Gravity Analogue [PDF]
Brain SciencesBackground/Objectives: The adverse effects of low gravity on human physiology are well documented; however, much of the literature is directed at changes which occur in microgravity (µg: weightlessness) with relatively less documented on changes in ...

Muscle synergies inherent in simulated hypogravity running reveal flexible but not unconstrained locomotor control [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWith human space exploration back in the spotlight, recent studies have investigated the neuromuscular adjustments to simulated hypogravity running. They have examined the activity of individual muscles, whereas the central nervous system may rather ...

Contractile behavior of the gastrocnemius medialis muscle during running in simulated hypogravity [PDF]
npj Microgravity, 2021 Vigorous exercise countermeasures in microgravity can largely attenuate muscular degeneration, albeit the extent of applied loading is key for the extent of muscle wasting.

Gastrocnemius medialis contractile behavior during running differs between simulated Lunar and Martian gravities [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The international partnership of space agencies has agreed to proceed forward to the Moon sustainably. Activities on the Lunar surface (0.16 g) will allow crewmembers to advance the exploration skills needed when expanding human presence to Mars (0.38 g).

Human Locomotion in Hypogravity: From Basic Research to Clinical Applications [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 We have considerable knowledge about the mechanisms underlying compensation of Earth gravity during locomotion, a knowledge obtained from physiological, biomechanical, modeling, developmental, comparative, and paleoanthropological studies.
