Stumbling Reactions in Partial Gravity – Neuromechanics of Compensatory Postural Responses and Inter-Limb Coordination During Perturbation of Human Stance

Spontaneous changes in gravity play a significant role in interplanetary space missions. To preserve the astronauts’ capability to execute mission-critical tasks and reduce the risk of injury in transit and on planetary surfaces, a comprehensive understanding of the neuromuscular control of postural...
