Indices of Increased Decompression Stress Following Long-Term Bed Rest

Human extravehicular activity (EVA) is essential to space exploration and involves risk of decompression sickness (DCS). On Earth, the effect of microgravity on physiological systems is simulated in an experimental model where subjects are confined to a 6° head-down bed rest (HDBR). This model was u...
