The Impact of Space Travel and Microgravity on the Spine

Space exploration presents unique challenges to spinal health, as astronauts often experience changes in spinal biomechanics due to prolonged exposure to microgravity. This session will explore the physiological effects of space travel on the spine, including intervertebral disc expansion, muscle atrophy, and post-flight spinal pain. Experts will discuss studies from NASA and international space agencies on spinal adaptations in astronauts and potential countermeasures such as resistance training, anti-gravity suits, and neuromuscular stimulation. The session will also examine the long-term impact of space travel on spinal health, including the risk of herniation and post-mission rehabilitation strategies. Insights from space medicine research will be applied to understanding spinal unloading in bedridden patients, patients with spinal cord injuries, and those experiencing prolonged immobility. Additionally, discussions will explore the role of AI-driven biomechanical assessments and the development of space-inspired spinal rehabilitation programs for use on Earth.
