Microgravity-induced changes in human bone strength.
A decrease of spongy tissue strength of iliac bone has been identified in healthy men under conditions of simulated weightlessness (bed rest). Countermeasures have significantly prevented this decrease. Additional investigations have indicated probability of degenerative-destructive bone change development under conditions of usual human activity as a consequence of bone strength decrease.
