In space, astronauts undergo physiological adaptations, such as changes in sensorimotor processing, to acclimate to microgravity conditions. However, these adaptations pose challenges upon astronauts’ return to Earth, particularly in postural control. Astronauts struggle with balance and coordination during the early post-flight period. Understanding these adaptations and their implications is key for optimizing astronaut health and performance, especially in anticipation of upcoming Artemis lunar missions. Head-down bedrest (HDBR) is a ground-based spaceflight analog that allows for additional research to be conducted into this adaptation and recovery period to test potential countermeasures before spaceflight. This research aims to delve into the assessment of postural control in both HDBR subjects and astronauts, providing insights essential for mission preparedness and the development of effective countermeasures.
