The present investigation describes for the first time leg lateral abduction performance during long-term microgravity exposure. Two astronauts took part in the experiments, starting 2 weeks into the mission and lasting for 5 months. Results on joint angles kinematics confirm previous investigations on parabolic flights, showing good task fulfillment for both subjects. Special interest was focused on whole body center of mass (CM) positioning. As in short-term microgravity, no initial CM lateral shift toward the 'supporting' leg was observed. In contrast with short-term microgravity and ground-based experiments, no stabilization of the CM medio-lateral position was found but a significant shift of CM toward the moving leg was observed. This suggests that the adaptation to sustained weightlessness might have led to a microgravity-specific motor strategy for leg abduction, which was not focused on CM strategy. 相似文献

Astronauts exposed to the microgravity conditions encountered during space flight exhibit postural and gait instabilities
upon return to earth that could impair critical postflight performance. The aim of the present study was to determine the
effects of microgravity exposure on astronauts’ performance of two-footed jump landings. Nine astronauts from several Space
Shuttle missions were tested both preflight and postflight with a series of voluntary, two-footed downward hops from a 30-cm-high
step. A video-based, three-dimensional motion-analysis system permitted calculation of body segment positions and joint angular
displacements. Phase-plane plots of knee, hip, and ankle angular velocities compared with the corresponding joint angles were
used to describe the lower limb kinematics during jump landings. The position of the whole-body center of mass (COM) was also
estimated in the sagittal plane using an eight-segment body model. Four of nine subjects exhibited expanded phase-plane portraits
postflight, with significant increases in peak joint flexion angles and flexion rates following space flight. In contrast,
two subjects showed significant contractions of their phase-plane portraits postflight and three subjects showed insignificant
overall changes after space flight. Analysis of the vertical COM motion generally supported the joint angle results. Subjects
with expanded joint angle phase-plane portraits postflight exhibited larger downward deviations of the COM and longer times
from impact to peak deflection, as well as lower upward recovery velocities. Subjects with postflight joint angle phase-plane
contraction demonstrated opposite effects in the COM motion. The joint kinematics results indicated the existence of two contrasting
response modes due to microgravity exposure. Most subjects exhibited “compliant“ impact absorption postflight, consistent
with decreased limb stiffness and damping, and a reduction in the bandwidth of the postural control system. Fewer subjects
showed “stiff“ behavior after space flight, where contractions in the phase-plane portraits pointed to an increase in control
bandwidth. The changes appeared to result from adaptive modifications in the control of lower limb impedance. A simple 2nd-order
model of the vertical COM motion indicated that changes in the effective vertical stiffness of the legs can predict key features
of the postflight performance. Compliant responses may reflect inflight adaptation due to altered demands on the postural control system in microgravity, while stiff behavior may result from overcompensation postflight for the presumed reduction in limb stiffness inflight.

Postural equilibrium is known to be controlled by sensorimotor reflexes and automatic control loops but also depends on high-level
body representation in space, probably implicating the right temporoparietal cortex. Indeed, short-term prism adaptation to
a 10° rightward visual shift has been shown to reduce predominant postural imbalance in patients with right hemisphere damage,
as it did for neglect symptoms. These effects are likely to be explained by a high level effect of prism adaptation on body
and space representation, rather than by a sensorimotor effect. Cognitive after-effects of prism adaptation to a leftward
visual shift, suggesting neglect-like symptoms, have also recently been shown in normal subjects on line bisection tasks.
In the present study, we investigated the effect of wedge prism adaptation on postural control in normal subjects. Two groups
of seven healthy subjects were either adapted to a leftward or a rightward visual shift. Results showed that our procedure
induced changes in lateral postural control in normal subjects. Furthermore, this lateral postural after-effect was dependent
on direction of prism adaptation. Indeed, only adaptation to a leftward visual shift induced significant rightward postural
bias in normal subjects. The rightward postural lateral displacement was negatively correlated with the visual vertical. Both
transfer and direction specific effect of visuo-manual adaptation to prisms on postural control suggest that effects of adaptation
act more on high-level postural control linked to body representation in space or at least reveal close interaction between
sensorimotor plasticity and body representation.

In the present experiments carried out in microgravity two questions were addressed. First, when the subject was instructed to adopt a vertical erect posture in microgravity with his feet fixed to the floor of the space cabin, would he control anteroposterior position with respect to the ankle joint axis of the ”vertical projection” of his center of mass (CM) or trunk axis orientation with respect to the ”vertical” (perpendicular to the floor of the space cabin)? Secondly, is CM anteroposterior position regulated during upper trunk movements in microgravity, in the absence of equilibrium constraint? Two subjects were tested in a long-term space flight. Video camera recordings were performed and analyzed off line. The results show that during erect vertical posture in microgravity, the trunk axis with respect to the ”vertical” is inclined some 7° forward. The anteroposterior position of the CM ”vertical” projection is not shifted forward, as might be expected in view of the trunk inclination, but remains close to the ankle joint axis. At the end of the upper trunk forward or backward bending movement, the final position of the vertical CM projection remains close to the ankle joint axis in microgravity. These results are interpreted as indicating that CM anteroposterior position continues to be accurately controlled in microgravity; the forward inclination of the trunk axis observed in microgravity is interpreted as being due to a misevaluation of the ”vertical” axis on the basis of biased information from proprioceptive inputs. 相似文献

A synergistic inclination of the whole body towards the supporting leg is required when producing a stepping movement. It serves to shift the centre of mass towards the stance foot. While the importance of sensory information in the setting of this postural adjustment is undisputed, it is currently unknown the extent to which proprioceptive afferences (Ia) give rise to postural regulation during stepping movement when the availability of other sensory information relying on static linear acceleration (gravity) is no longer sensed in microgravity. We tested this possibility asking subjects to step forward with their eyes closed in normo- and microgravity environments. At the onset of the stepping movement, we vibrated the ankle muscles acting in the lateral direction to induce modification of the afferent inflow (Ia fibres). Vibration-evoked movement (perceived movement) was in the same direction as the forthcoming body shift towards the supporting side (current movement). A control condition was performed without vibration. In both environments, when vibration was applied, the hip shift towards the supporting side decreased. These postural modifications occurred, however, earlier in normogravity before initiating the stepping movement than in microgravity (i.e. during the completion of the stepping movement). Our results suggest that proprioceptive information induced by vibration and afferent inflow related to body movement exaggerated sense of movement. This biased perception led to the postural adjustment decrease. We propose that in both environments, proprioceptive inflow enables the subject to scale the postural adjustments, provided that body motion-induced afferences are present to activate this postural control. 相似文献

Neuromuscular adaptation to microgravity environment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Morphological and/or functional char-acteristics of skeletal muscles have a greater adaptability in response to changes in environmental stimuli. For example, an atrophy associated with a shift of fiber characteristics toward fast-twitch type is a common adaptation of antigravity muscle to a microgravity environment. Neuromuscular responses and possible mechanisms of both neural and muscular adaptations to a microgravity environment are discussed in this article. Responses of morphological, metabolic, and contractile properties, as well as fiber phenotype, of muscles are briefly reviewed. Discussion is further extended to the patterns of electromyogram and tension development of muscle, responses of postural stability and locomotion, and/or motoneurons in order to study the mechanism for muscular adaptation to microgravity. 相似文献

We investigated the possible consequences of two consecutive postural tasks on adaptation. Four groups (total number of 46
healthy subjects) were perturbed on two consecutive days with vibration stimulus to tibialis anterior or posterior calf muscles,
or both in different orders. Postural movements were recorded with a force platform. There were three major results: (1) tibialis
anterior vibration instigated postural adaptation during exposure to the vibration, but did not induce long-term adaptation
from day to day, contrary to posterior calf vibration. (2) The long-term postural adaptation from day to day when the posterior
calf was vibrated was not affected by prior or subsequent tibialis anterior vibration, which contrasts to other studies on
motor learning. (3) Exposure to posterior calf vibration prior tibialis anterior vibration, led to changes of postural strategies
and larger amount of torque variance, implying that postural strategies initiated by the gastrocnemius vibration were re-employed
during the subsequent tibialis anterior stimulation. This may represent the formation of an internal model, used as feed-forward
control of posture, possibly consisting of sensory reweighting. Postural perturbations need to be sufficiently difficult to
withstand, in order to induce long-term learning, and postural strategies may be transferred between different postural challenges
if they post different demands. Clinically, this suggests that exercises designed to rehabilitate patients should be sufficiently
challenging to instigate learning processes, and spaced in order to avoid development of inappropriate postural strategies. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are modified with short-term
changes in the body mass. Nine subjects were asked to catch a 2.2 kg load with their arms extended under conditions of no
weight and when additional weights of 10 and 20% of the subject’s body weight (BW) were attached to single body locations
or when 20 or 40% BW were attached evenly to two locations. Attaching weights was associated with an increase of the whole
body mass, but also involved changes in the vertical position of the center of mass (COM). Electromyographic activity of leg
and trunk muscles and ground reaction forces were recorded and quantified within the typical time intervals of APAs. APAs
were influenced by the magnitude of the weight attached to the body: an increase in the body mass was associated with anticipatory
co-activation of trunk and leg muscles. The level of this co-activation increased with an increase in the magnitude of weight
added to the body. At the same time, APAs were affected by the changes in the vertical position of COM. These findings suggest
that in the case of short-term changes in the body mass, the CNS might prioritize information regarding the magnitude and
location of the additional weight added to the body and utilize a strategy of anticipatory co-activation of postural muscles
directed at the stabilization of body segments. 相似文献

During the gait initiation in level walking, the anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) which precede heel off consist of a forward fall of the whole body and their duration depends on the intended gait velocity related to the step length. The present study examines the adaptation of the gait initiation process for stepping on to a new level. Five subjects performed a single step at natural speed in five experimental conditions. The first condition (C1) was a level walking task whereas the other (stair) conditions required stepping on to a new level (from 8 to 32 cm). The horizontal step length was the same under all conditions. Results showed that the center of mass (CM) forward velocity at the end of the APA, and also until foot contact of the leading limb, decreased from C1 to the stair conditions whereas the peak of forward velocity was similar under all conditions. Moreover, the CM forward displacement up to foot contact was smaller in the stair conditions than in C1. These results suggest the use of a sequential mode of control for the organization of the CM forward dynamics during the stair conditions. This adaptation of the gait initiation process for stepping up is examined mainly from the result that the majority of body lift, which occurred only from the beginning of the double-stance phase, involved a larger CM forward translation than in level walking. As the horizontal step length was the same in all conditions, it can be suggested that the CNS had to reduce the CM forward displacement up to foot contact in the stair conditions, in order to take into account the subsequent greater forward translation. 相似文献

The ability voluntarily to stabilize the head in space during lateral rhythmic oscillations (0.59±0.09 Hz) of the trunk has
been investigated during microgravity (μG) and normal gravity (nG) conditions (parabolic flights). Five healthy young subjects,
who gave informed consent, were examined. The movements were performed with eyes open or eyes closed, during phases of either
μG or nG. The main result was that head orientation with respect to vertical may be stabilized about the roll axis under μG
with, as well as without vision, despite the reduction in vestibular afferent and muscle proprioceptive inputs. Moreover,
the absence of head stabilization about the yaw axis confirms that the degrees of freedom of the neck can be independently
controlled, as was previously reported. These results seem to indicate that voluntary head stabilization does not depend crucially
upon static vestibular afferents. Head stabilization in space may in fact be organized on the basis of either dynamic vestibular
afferents or a short-term memorized postural body schema.
