Ηλεκτρομυϊκής διέγερσης space wear για τη βελτίωση της αποκατάστασης των αστροναυτών που επιστρέφουν από διαστημικές αποστολές.

Their team is working on the development of a Whole-Body Electrical Muscle Stimulation Space
Wear. The product provides a solution to improve the rehabilitation of astronauts returning from
space missions, but it can also be used during space flights and preparation as a complementary
training method of the current forms of exercises. The main innovation of the technology is the
integrated dry electrode and biosensor system. With this new technology, the stimulation (impulse
transmission) is ensured without the use of water or conductive gel. The Space Wear is equipped
with different biosensors, thus providing the opportunity to monitor the user’s physical condition
and training intensity.

Whole-Body Electrical Muscle Stimulation (WB-EMS), has a decades-long history in the field of
sports, fitness, and rehabilitation. The electrical impulses reach the targeted muscle group through
the skin via electrodes, thereby enabling the improvement of metabolic processes and increasing
the efficiency of training.

Astronauts’ skeletal muscles, bones, and cardiovascular system are severely affected by even a
few days of space travel. In a microgravity environment, the lack of gravitational load on the body
causes significant muscle and bone loss, which cannot be compensated properly with even
intensive traditional trainings. Atrophy can also develop under terrestrial conditions as a result of
aging, numerous diseases, or a sedentary lifestyle, which entails significant health risks. Our
product provides an alternative solution to these problems.
