A lower body negative pressure (LBNP) device is an airtight chamber surrounding the legs and pelvic area. LBNP has been used for decades as a research tool and more recently as a countermeasure during spaceflight; the negative pressure simulates the effects of gravitational stress by displacing blood and tissue fluid towards the feet while simultaneously inducing mechanical loading and ground reaction forces under the feet. LBNP is currently considered the most promising countermeasure to maintain structure and function of eyes and brain, while the combination of LBNP and exercise could potentially provide additive effects to also maintain exercise capacity and cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health during long-duration spaceflight.
