Summary of Payload Integration Plan (PIP) for Starlab-1 flight experiment, enclosure 3
The objectives of the Autogenic Feedback Training (AFT) are to: determine if preflight AFT is an effective treatment for space adaptation syndrome (SAS); determine if preflight improvements in motion sickness tolerance can be used to predict crewmembers' success in controlling symptoms in flight; and identify differences and similarities between the physiological data from preflight motion sickness tests and data collected during symptom episodes in space. The goal is to test the AFT on 8 trained and 8 control subjects. At present 2 trained and 2 contol subjects were tested. The testing will continue until the experimental goal of testing 16 individual is reached
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REDUCED OF MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH HEIGHT AND KNEE VALGUS
Knee valgus during jump landing is considered to be one of the situations that may cause injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Decreased muscle torque during hip abduction is also reported to be a causative factor for knee valgus, as is pronation of the ankle joint (Joseph M et al. 2008). Further, knee valgus may occur when a reduction in the height of the medial longitudinal arch causes ankle pronation, leading to tibial inclination angle to the inside. In this study, motion analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between a reduction in the height of the medial longitudinal arch and knee valgus
