“This represents a breakthrough in the study of human adaptation and life in space. Since many of the changes in astronaut in space resemble those of people who are immobile in bed, these studies can be clinically relevant. The data are therefore important for future space exploration while also providing a correlation to people on Earth with limited mobility or who are bedridden before their rehabilitation,” says Dr. Trudel, a professor at the University of Ottawa and researcher at The Ottawa Hospital.
