Efficacy of Gradient Compression Garments in the Hours After Long-Duration Spaceflight

Efficacy of Gradient Compression Garments in the Hours After Long-Duration Spaceflight

The incidence of presyncopal events is high soon after a long-duration spaceflight;>60% of returning astronauts could not complete a 10-min 80° head-up tilt test on landing day (R+0) after ~6 months of spaceflight. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the ability of a lower body gra...
