- Abstract
Space gravity suit has been used for over 20 years in Russian space stations to prevent harmful consequences of being in zero gravity (osteoporosis, muscle atrophies, etc.). The space suit is designed in such a way that it enables to create a payload on muscles, temporarily out of function, which is adequate to the natural one. Stroke patients with motor defect of hemiparesis are quite limited in their movement. To develop walking and self-serving skills we conducted 2-hour sessions of treatment using space gravity suit. Neuro-physiological and psychological methods confirm the positive effect of treatment. The predictors of positive effect of treatment were also observed. Our experience has shown that the method is simple to use, very effective and can be applied in both clinics and home conditions.
