Changes in walking strategies after spaceflight

Over the last several years, our laboratory has investigated postflight astronaut locomotion with the aim of better understanding how adaptive changes in underlying sensorimotor mechanisms contribute to postflight gait dysfunction. One of the first questions we asked focused on the effects of spacef...
