Did you know that astronauts lose 1-2% of their bone density for every month they are in space? It would take several decades to lose the same amount on solid ground.
When there is no gravity, your bones no longer have to support body movement or posture. Some researchers describe it as the most drastic physical inactivity there is.
All that floating around can therefore severely weaken the bones, which can cause fractures and even lead to osteoporosis on return to Earth.
Realising this cosmic conundrum, NASA joined forces with biomedical scientist Professor Clinton Rubin to develop a non-invasive, drug-free way to mitigate bone loss while in space.
Drawing on decades of research into the effects of mechanical stimulation on the body, Professor Rubin and his team developed a vibration platform for astronauts that uses low-intensity, targeted vibrations to grow and strengthen bone and muscle cells.
Owing to its success in space, Professor Rubin realised the potential for low-intensity vibration to treat osteoporosis on Earth – leading to the invention of the Marodyne LiV.
