This paper presents a review of reported data about physiological responses of the human body to hypokinesia and discusses physiological, particularly hemodynamic, effects of dry immersion. The paper also describes clinical applications of the method and emphasizes the need for further study of the effects of dry immersion on normal and pathological processes accompanied by hemodynamic changes.
