The cosmonauts P. I. Klimuk and V.I. Sevastyanov during their 63-day flight showed functional changes that were identical to those they demonstrated during their shorterterm flights. During the long-term mission they adapted to the weightless state better than previously. Post-flight medical examinations revealed no pathologies. The following functional changes were found: general asthenization and signs of vegetative-vascular intolerance, sensory-motor and stato-kinetic disorders, moderate muscular dystrophy of lower extremities, slight inhibition of erythropoiesis. P.I. Klimuk displayed vestibular disturbances postflight. Both cosmonauts recovered without any complications.
