Neurovestibular Symptoms in Astronauts Immediately after and Missions by Millard F. Reschke PhD, Edward F. Good MD, Gilles R. Clément PhD

“…Objectives (1) To assess vestibular changes and related sensorimotor difficulties, especially instability of posture and gait, among astronauts immediately after they return from space and to compare the effects experienced after short- and long-duration space missions. (2) To determine whether any difficulties experienced were severe enough to impair the astronauts’ ability to leave the spacecraft in the event of an emergency. …”
