  • Title: [Modeling of human movements under conditions of varying gravitational force].
    Author: Zinkovskiĭ AV, Trofimova IA, Chistiakov VA.
    Journal: Kosm Biol Aviakosm Med; 1981; 15(6):31-3. PubMed ID: 7311448.
    Abstract:
    The control of man's movements during adaptation to an altered gravity field was modelled by mathematical methods. Two types of movements were investigated: forearm displacements with various loads and repulsions from a support in zero-g and at high g's. It has been shown that movement coordination in altered gravity fields can be maintained due to a rearrangement of the control over muscle contraction which includes changes in the amplitude and pattern of joint momenta in harmony with the gravity changes.
