Check out now why astronauts can't walk when they arrive on Earth after a trip to space.
See why this happens
The justification for this difficulty lies in the health problems that these professionals face when embarking on a trip to space. Among the problems, we have weight loss, balance and vision disorders, nasal congestion, cardiovascular problems and changes in the immune system.
Given this, in response to the differences between space and earth, the organism of these individuals begins to change in order to adapt to this new environment. Consequently, these professionals suffer loss of bone and muscle mass, since neither muscles nor bone mass are needed in space, as there is no gravity there. Therefore, the sense of the body to maintain these conditions is lost and thus ends up atrophying these regions.
With that, these professionals return with difficulties not only to walk, but also to recover their muscle, bone and joint strength in every part of the body. That is, as soon as they return to Earth, they need to follow up with trained professionals, with the aim of returning to their bodily activities in the best possible way.
