Aims:
- Show that application of low magnitude (0.3g), high
frequency (30Hz) mechanical stimulation, will reduce the loss of bone
seen with long term disuse.
- Show that application of low magnitude, high
frequency mechanical stimulation will improve the postural control of
subjects undergoing long term bed-rest.
- Determine if long term bed-rest affects the sensitivity of the lower extremities.
- Determine if the application of low magnitude, high
frequency mechanical stimulation will inhibit the changes if they exist
Non-pharmacologic countermeasure for the deterioration of the
musculoskeletal system, and retention of postural stability.
