Systemic circulation and cerebral oxygenation during head-up tilt in spinal cord injured individuals

Objective: To compare tilt-induced alterations in cardiovascular homeostasis and cerebral oxygenation of spinal cord-injured (SCI) to able-bodied (AB) individuals. Design: Subjects underwent 10 min supine rest followed by 10 min 70°head-up tilt. The …

Reproducibility of the alterations in circulation and cerebral oxygenation from supine rest to head-up tilt

Cardiovascular stability, as affected by several diseases, may be assessed by head-up tilt testing. Follow-up studies are essential in both evaluating interventions and assessing progression. However, data on the reproducibility of the changes in …
