Human physiology, posture, movements, are influenced by gravity In Space, the changing geometry of gravity creates a cognitive, physical, spatial shift. Vital fluids flow into the upper part of the body, causing the phenomenon of puffy face. The limbs become thinner, the torso swells, the muscles lose tone and the bones decalcify.

Weightlessness affects the mechanisms of proprioception. The body experiences a different postural adaptation than on Earth. The calibration of the forces needed to grasp an object must be reconfigured and dampened: gestures are softer, movements are slower and more deliberate, more action-oriented, more studied because they are unprecedented and to be observed.

Space Design has the task of redesigning new habitats and equipment that can be used as countermeasures to the negative effects of reduced gravity, seeing it as a potential advantage to innovate with, not a limitation to overcome.
