Episode 22: Having A Stroke In Space

Having something as serious as a stroke or heart attack in outer space is something NASA and other space agencies have put countless hours into mitigating however, some of the more serious complications that will arise from such a thing happening won't fully be realized until the person returns home to Earth. Part of the brain during a stroke has succumb to gravity but the astronaut is not in a gravitational environment. Upon returning to a gravitational environment, the part of the brain that has been affected will act as a mass around which the rest of the brain cannot function. This is something proper movement principles may be able to address to help return the person to a more normal living condition.
