  • Title: [Changes of leg compliance during weightlessness or simulated weightlessness].
    Author: Liang WB, Jiang SZ, Shen XY.
    Journal: Space Med Med Eng (Beijing); 2002 Apr; 15(2):140-3. PubMed ID: 12068887.
    Abstract:
    Weightlessness or simulated weightlessness causes increase of leg compliance. It leads to more blood pooling in the legs and less blood returning to the heart during orthostatic test, which may partly explain the occurrence of orthostatic intolerance induced by weightlessness or simulated weightlessness. This article is a review covering published materials about the methods of measurement, mechanisms and countermeasures of the increase of leg compliance during weightlessness or simulated weightlessness.
