Neutral body posture
The neutral body posture is the posture the human body naturally assumes in microgravity. Adopting any other posture while floating requires muscular effort. NASA developed the Man-System Integration Standards based on anthropometry and biomechanics. Later work by NASA found greater individual variations between crew members’ neutral body positions.
About Neutral body posture in brief
The neutral body posture is the posture the human body naturally assumes in microgravity. Adopting any other posture while floating requires muscular effort. In the 1980s, NASA developed the Man-System Integration Standards based on anthropometry and biomechanics.
Later work by NASA found greater individual variations between crew members’ neutral body positions.
