A Wearable Countermeasure for Musculoskeletal Deconditioning in Human Spaceflight

In the reduced gravity experienced during human spaceflight, the human body no longer experiences the constant loading provided by Earth’s gravity. Muscles atrophy due to disuse, the spine elongates, which may cause back pain and discomfort, and sensorimotor changes lead to impaired posture and loco...
