Vestibular and somatosensory interaction during recovery of balance instability after spaceflight.

F Hlavačka, O Dzurková, Kornilova Ln

Abstract

The aim of our contribution was to characterize vestibular and somatosensory influence on human balance recovery during readaptation to the earth conditions after spaceflight. We tested how post-spaceflight postural reactions to galvanic stimulus (related to vestibular input) and to vibration of the lower leg muscles (somatosensory input) were changed.
