The
following are tests conducted by NASA before, during and
after bedrest. Any yellow LINK
signifies a test for which I provided a description and
photos.
Also bear in mind that I am not a medical doctor, and am not aiming for textbook accuracy beyond layman's terms; I describe my subjective opinion of each experience, but speak only for myself and no other test participants :) |
