Proprioceptive disturbances in weightlessness revisited
npj Microgravity, 2023 The senses of limb position and movement become degraded in low gravity. One explanation is a gravity-dependent loss of fusimotor activity. In low gravity, position and movement sense accuracy can be recovered if elastic bands are stretched across the ...
