  • Title: Antiorthostatic hypokinesia as a method of weightlessness simulation.
    Author: Kakurin LI, Lobachik VI, Mikhailov VM, Senkevich YA.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1976 Oct; 47(10):1083-6. PubMed ID: 985283.
    Abstract:
    Physiological effects seen in eight test subjects during a 5-d bedrest experiment in the head-down position (0,-4,-8,-12degrees) were studied. It was shown that the antiorthostatic hypokinesia at -12degrees could reproduce physiological responses shown by space crewmembers more closely than recumbent bedrest. Our observations help to stimulate an acute stage of human adaptation to the weightless state and to assess the part played by gravity-induced blood redistribution in the development of physiological changes.
