NASA's understanding of neutral body posture (NBP) started with an unexpected discovery in space. When astronauts aboard Skylab, NASA's first space station, were photographed in microgravity, it became evident that the human body naturally assumes a distinct posture in such environments. This posture includes specific angles at the joints and peculiar limb positions. Understanding this natural alignment was crucial for the design of spacecraft that cater to both safety and comfort.
