Summary

This study looks at how the brain and muscles change when one leg is unloaded for two weeks, mimicking spaceflight. Healthy adults will use crutches with a special shoe to keep one leg from bearing weight. Afterward, they walk on a treadmill in lunar gravity during a parabolic flight. The goal is to understand how the nervous system adapts to low gravity, which could help astronauts and people recovering from limb injuries.
