Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of aerospace biomedical engineering research, and more specifically relates to a device capable of performing active / passive exercise training on tail-suspended rats under simulated weightlessness conditions. Background technique
[0002] Astronauts will suffer severe weightlessness bone loss when they enter space. The average weight-bearing bone loss is 1.0-1.6% per month, and the maximum can reach 13.6%. The loss rate is much higher than the annual bone loss rate of women after menopause (3%). It will directly affect the health and work ability of astronauts. Data from animal experiments suggest that exercise training is a safe and effective measure against weightlessness-induced bone loss. Due to the limitation of space experiments, the current research data in this area are mainly obtained through the ground simulation weightlessness model.
