Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in microgravity environment may reduce brain compliance and impair compensatory brain mechanisms, causing decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF). Thus, brain functions may be affected, making this phenomenon worrisome to astronauts, especially in interplanetary and long-duration missions. The ICP elevation is usually due to fluid displacement from the lo…
Post-stroke disability leads to a sedentary lifestyle, increasing the risk of developing a new cerebrovascular and/or cardiac events. Arterial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathophysiology of these events. Endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness and autonomic nervous system dysfunction are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, morbidity and mortality. …
Stroke is considered the mainly cause of disability in the world. One of the most important complaints of individuals post-stroke is the upper limp disability. The taskspecific training is largerly used by the rehabilitation team to treat post-stroke subjects. However the molecular mechanisms involved on skeletal muscle adaptation due to task specific training remain unknown. Thus, the …

Man's trip to the moon was one of the most awaited moments for mankind, and we are getting to the next step: the trip to Mars. From this, there are several studies about the effects that microgravity can have on the astronaut's body. Due to the change in the hydrostatic gradient of space in relation to the Earth, the human body undergoes a displacement of fluids in which there is a decrea…
Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP) in microgravity environment may reduce brain compliance and impair Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF). Thus, may decrease global cortical depolarization and affect brain functions, making this phenomenon worrisome to astronauts, especially in interplanetary and long-duration missions. ICP elevation is usually due to fluid displacement from the lower limbs and …

The current project was designed to determine differences between chronic hemiparetics and healthy control with respect to spatiotemporal and kinematic variables, temporal patterns of muscle activity, muscle activation and coactivation during two functional tasks (reaching and drinking a glass of water), considering motion features and applying Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) analysi…
The current project was designed to determine whether introducing new perturbations or environments during locomotor learning in a split-belt treadmill affects adaptation response and improves transfer of learning to overground walking in subjects post-stroke. In addition, we aim to determine whether any of the stroke survivors' impairments (clinical measures) could impact this process. T…
