Abstract:
Biolo G. et al. made an interesting observation - many space-related physiological changes resemble those observed during aging (Biolo G. et al., 2003). Postural stability is affected by both spaceflight and aging (Demertzi et al., 2016). It is known that postural perturbations in the elderly may be associated with impaired perceptual processing of sensory afferent signals (Ozdemir et al., 2018). At the same time, changes in the support and proprioceptive afferent signals are a key factor in the many sensorimotor disorders during space flight (Kozlovskaya I.B. et al., 2007). The effects of aging, especially with hypokinesia, are an important cause of loss of the contractile capacity and mass of the skeletal muscle in the elderly (Scicchitano et al., 2009; Vinciguerra et al., 2010). Such patients are not able to maintain a sufficient level of physical activity. In this case, electromyostimulation (EMS) can be an alternative to active physical training. We hypothesized that the EMS regime with the so-called Russian currents, which is an effective passive countermeasure in weightlessness, can also be effective for neurological elderly patients with impaired balance and walking functions. The study was supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation under agreement № 075-15-2022-298 from 18 April 2022 about the grant in the form of subsidy from the federal budget to provide government support for the creation and development of a world-class research center, the “Pavlov Center for Integrative Physiology to Medicine, High-tech Healthcare and Stress Tolerance Technologies”.
