Assessment of Otolith Function and Asymmetry as a Corollary to Critical Sensorimotor Performance in Missions of Various Durations (Shelhamer)

Last Published: 07/30/21 01:05:34 PM (Central)

Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Shelhamer, Mark

Short Title: CIPHER Ocular Alignment - ISS

Responsible HRP Element: Human Health Countermeasures

Collaborating Org(s):

NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC)

Funding Status: Active - Currently funded and in progress

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:

Performance of otolith testing and refinement of procedures in an appropriate analog. Identification of any changes due solely to confinement and close quarters.
Crew training.
Performance in ISS flights of various durations.
Characterization of temporal trends
Comparison of otolith measures with posture and locomotion measures in SM

Resources (Flight, Other)

Deliverables (2)

Category: Risk Characterization, Quantification
Subcategory: Evidence or Risk Characterization

Description:

Determine if there is a low-level vestibular-mediated response (binocular alignment) that changes over time during long-duration space flight, and if there is a temporal trend that extends beyond six months in space. Correlate this measure with posture and locomotion testing data to determine if it would provide an alternate, simpler means of assessing neurovestibular function.
