Astronauts returning from space experience ‘baby feet,’ where their soles become hypersensitive due to microgravity. This is caused by the lack of weight-bearing exercises. Recovery involves gradual re-acclimatization to pressure, specific exercises, balance training, and proper hydration. Other effects include puffy faces, muscle loss, and dizziness. Rehabilitation is critical for a complete recovery.
