Musculoskeletal changes in a microgravity environment

Astronauts, Microgravity, Musculoskeletal system, Space flightAbstract
The astronaut is an individual who works in a hostile microgravity environment. This abnormal environment changes human physiology in virtually all organ systems. The musculoskeletal system has clinical repercussions that can extend even after the space mission. Knowing the changes in the musculoskeletal system to act before,
during and after the space flight is essential, since bone hypotrophy can remain years after returning to Earth Medical intervention aims to reduce the risks of health problems related to the musculoskeletal system. The
aim of this study is to perform a bibliographic review to identify musculoskeletal changes in the microgravity environment and to describe prevention and treatment
measures during and after aerospace travel.
