title: Vestibular and somatosensory interaction during recovery of balance instability after spaceflight.
abstract: The aim of our contribution was to characterize vestibular and somatosensory influence on human balance recovery during readaptation to the earth conditions after spaceflight. We tested how post-spaceflight postural reactions to galvanic stimulus (related to vestibular input) and to vibration of the lower leg muscles (somatosensory input) were changed.
