Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2010
Polio survivors are aging and facing multiple pathologies. With age, walking becomes more difficult, partly due to locomotor deficits but also as a result of weight gain, osteoarticular degeneration, pain, cardiorespiratory problems or even post polio syndrome (PPS). These additional complications increase the risk of falls in this population where the

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Lateral wedge insoles (LWIs) are a non‐surgical adjunct treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA) that has been shown to reduce the knee adduction moment—a biomechanical risk factor for knee OA disease progression. Though worn in one's shoes, little is known of the effects of LWIs use on the foot or ankle.
