The astronauts returning on Space Shuttle Atlantis will have a special task ahead. Wilfrid Laurier University, Professor Stephen Perry is a researcher keen to quantify the influence of space travel on foot sensitivity. Specially trained researchers will systematically tickle the feet of the astronauts in a scientific experiment . Perry cites foot sole sensation as a critical factor in balance control and wants to determine whether weightlessness improves equilibrium. As we know Prof. Perry has already developed a special shoe that alerts seniors when they are listing too much, reducing fall-related injuries.
