The Effect of Acute Body Unloading on Somatosensory Performance, Motor Activation, and Visuomotor Tasks

The Effect of Acute Body Unloading on Somatosensory Performance, Motor Activation, and Visuomotor Tasks

Evaluating countermeasures designed to reduce the impact of microgravity exposure on astronaut performance requires the development of effective methods of assessing changes to sensorimotor function in 1g analog systems. In this study, somatosensation at the ankle and fingers, lower leg muscle activ...
