Bones and muscles grow weak in the weightlessness of space. One way to counteract this is vibration therapy-stimulating bone and muscle cells by shaking them. This suit, designed to be worn inside a space station or habitat, features strategically placed vibrating pads that deliver vibration therapy to key muscle groups and bones.
