Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions
, 2022 The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in order to maximize worker performance and minimize the risks of musculoskeletal injuries. Research

Mechanical Determinants of the U-Shaped Speed-Energy Cost of Running Relationship
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the energy cost of running (Cr) and speed and its mechanical determinants by comparing running in normal [100% body weight (BW)] and reduced (20% and 60% BW) gravity conditions at

Stem Cells International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Cell therapy may be regarded as a feasible alternative to whole organ transplantation to treat end‐stage liver diseases. Human liver stem cells (HLSCs) are a population of cells easily obtainable and expandable from a human adult liver biopsy. HLSCs share with mesenchymal stromal cells the same phenotype, gene expression profile, and differentiation ...

Hypogravity as a risk factor for increased intraocular pressure [PDF]
Bulletin of Russian State Medical University, 2019 Space medicine has long studied the impact of reduced gravity on the human body. Increasing complaints of insufficient visual acuity during and after space flights have been recently drawing a lot of attention to the effects of hypogravity on astronauts’ vision.

An experimentally informed computational model of neurovestibular adaptation to altered gravity
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Transitions to altered gravity environments result in acute sensorimotor impairment for astronauts, leading to serious mission and safety risks in the crucial first moments in a new setting. Our understanding of the time course and severity of impairment in the early stages of adaptation remains limited and confounded by unmonitored head ...

Why do we transition from walking to running? Energy cost and lower leg muscle activity before and after gait transition under body weight support [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Minimization of the energetic cost of transport (CoT) has been suggested for the walk-run transition in human locomotion. More recent literature argues that lower leg muscle activities are the potential triggers of the walk-run transition.

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Skeletal muscle atrophy is encountered in many clinical conditions, but a pharmacological treatment has not yet been established. Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) Wight is an herbal medicine used in traditional Japanese and Chinese medicine. In the current study, we investigated the effect of C. tubulosa extract (CTE) on atrophied muscle in vivo.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.
