Preferred term

Hindlimb Suspension  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • Technique for limiting use, activity, or movement by immobilizing or restraining animal by suspending from hindlimbs or tails. This immobilization is used to simulate some effects of reduced gravity and study weightlessness physiology. This refers to skeletal muscle usually related to the hindlimb.
