Falls and Fall-Prevention in Older Persons: Geriatrics Meets Spaceflight!

Falls and Fall-Prevention in Older Persons: Geriatrics Meets Spaceflight!

This paper provides a general overview of key physiological consequences of microgravity experienced during spaceflight and of important parallels and connections to the physiology of aging. Microgravity during spaceflight influences cardiovascular function, cerebral autoregulation, musculoskeletal,...
