The Shenzhou-17 crew have conducted multiple medical experiments in the China Space Station, according to the China Manned Space Agency. The three astronauts cooperated in lower limb kinematics testing experiments to study the biomechanical characteristics of astronauts' movements in a weightless environment. 

Aerospace medical experiments are designed to study and solve the major problems caused by medical and human-related factors and affect people's long-term stay in space. China launched the Shenzhou-17 manned spaceship on October 26 and the three astronauts aboard will stay in orbit for about six months on the space station.
