  • Title: [Change in the neuromotor apparatus after 45 days' hypokinesia].
    Author: Shaposhnikov EA, Sidorov PI, Kolomenskiĭ AI.
    Journal: Kosm Biol Aviakosm Med; 1979; 13(6):35-9. PubMed ID: 502425.
    Abstract:
    Neurological and electromyographic examinations of 12 test subjects during a 45-day bed rest study were carried out. Symptoms indicating changes in the suprasegmentary innervation were noted. Shortening of the duration of potentials was shown by needle electromyography. A decline in the threshold of H-reflex and a change in the frequency parameters of EMG were seen. These data suggest a change in the functional state of the central and peripheral motor neuron during prolonged hypokinesia. Prophylactic efficiency of muscle electrostimulation is discussed.
