Preferred Label : weightlessness countermeasures;
MeSH definition : Techniques and routines designed to prevent or reverse unwanted effects of weightlessness
experienced during actual and simulated space flight, including physiologic changes
related to removal of gravitational loading. Specific measures include creation of
artificial gravity, exercise, low-level lower body negative pressure, and use of anti-deconditioning
devices. (From Nicogossian, Space Physiology and Medicine, 2d ed, pp294-297);
