Info : Microgravity is a state of very low gravity.



Atrophy of skeletal muscles is a serious problem in a microgravity environment. It is hypothesized that the unloading of postural muscles˛, which no longer must resist gravity force, causes an accelerated breakdown of contractile proteins, resulting in a reduction in muscle mass and strength.

˛ anterior scalene are postural muscles as well as phasic



I have no solution yet for any other entrapment zone so far. Medium scalene, subclavius muscle, pectoralis.

But i have some serious french documentations for the subclavius mucle atrophy and i am studying it.


The major problem

The major problem is : The symptoms tend to return gradually, from fingers up to forearm, while keyboarding.

It's a big problem. I think in two months it will go up my elbow. It is not permanent but tend to be permanent. But sleep reduce it. Today i can work fully, but i will switch for sure at 1/2 time.


Other need-to-read :

"When you load a muscle," Fitts continues, "its fibers begin a series of intracellular signaling steps. Genes within the cell nucleus make RNA [ribonucleic acid], which synthesizes proteins that make up muscle fiber. Pumping iron activates the expression of these proteins, which accumulate and enlarge the muscle fibers."

Microgravity has the opposite effect. It reduces the load that gravity naturally places on muscles, interrupting protein synthesis so that fibers begin to atrophy.

But ! I have no more circulation problems !
