The effect of short-term microgravity and hypergravity on eyelid and brow position
Short-term microgravity, similar to spaceflight, significantly elevates PTB but not MRD1. It was also shown that MRD2 was reduced. Short-term hypergravity induces significant reductions only in MRD1. Phenomena are likely explicable by co-activation of the muscles raising the eyelid and eyebrow. Comparison to space data suggests that parabolic flight offers a valid model to study periocular facial changes in microgravity.
