Axial loading as a countermeasure to microgravity-induced deconditioning : effects on the spine and its associated structures
Prolonged spinal unloading in microgravity has been associated with stature elongation and increased risk of intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation, particularly in the lumbar spine. Novel countermeasures to reintroduce axial loading in space are therefore required. This PhD aimed to evaluate the impa...
