Sensorimotor function may be fundamentally limited in hypogravity

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Prior studies suggest that humans can adapt to hypogravity (i.e., 0-1.0 Earth G). We examined human manual control performance during the transition from an Earth-gravity to a hypogravity condition. We found that performance worsened significantly after the transition. With practice in the hypogravity condition, performance partially improved with practice over repeated trials, but remained impaired in the hypogravity condition relative to the Earth-gravity condition.
