Bed-rest studies for the International Space Station.

چکیده
The microgravity experienced during space flight induces physiological changes that affect astronauts' health and performance. Simulations such as prolonged bed rest can mimic some of these changes and provide study conditions that are more accessible than during space flight itself. Previous studies, including several long and short-term bed-rest campaigns supported by ESA, have yielded significant medical data on the physiological changes induced by space flight. These data are being used extensively to study the effects of various countermeasures on those physiological changes.

Long-duration head-down bed rest: project overview, vital signs, and fluid balance.
INTRODUCTION Spaceflight has profound effects on the human body. Many of these effects can be induced with head-down bed rest, which has been a useful ground-based analog. With limited resources aboard the International Space Station for human research, the bed rest analog will be a primary platform on which countermeasures will be developed and tested for lunar and Mars mission scenarios. ME...

INTRODUCTION This report is one of a series on the Flight Analog Project, which is designed to lay the groundwork for a standard bed rest protocol. The Spaceflight Cognitive Assessment Tool for Windows (WinSCAT) is a self-administered battery of tests used on the International Space Station for evaluating cognitive functioning. Here, WinSCAT was used to assess cognitive functioning during exten...
متن کاملBehavioral and psychological issues in long-duration head-down bed rest.
INTRODUCTION This report is one of a series on the Flight Analogs Project, which is designed to lay the groundwork for a standard bed rest protocol. Behavioral health services, similar to those offered to the U.S. astronauts who undertake 6-mo missions onboard the International Space Station, were provided to 13 long-duration head-down bed rest participants. Long-duration missions pose unique c...
متن کاملVitamin K Status in Spaceflight and Ground-Based Models of Spaceflight
Bone loss is a well-documented change during and after long-duration spaceflight. Many types of countermeasures to bone loss have been proposed, including vitamin K supplementation. The objective of this series of studies was to measure change in vitamin K status in response to microgravity under a variety of spaceflight and spaceflight analog (model) conditions, including long-duration spacefl...
متن کاملAnxiety, emotional regulation and concentration during a 35-day bed rest
11 With the construction of the international space station Freedom and ongoing preparations for the mission to Mars, man’s presence in space is rapidly increasing. The role of astronauts will become even more important owing to longer and more complex space missions. Since man still remains a central element in the conquest of space despite the outstanding technological achievements, protectio...
