Ambulatory measurement of body position
… pressure and ECG waveform can change because of body position. In the case of the ECG, the changes caused by body position are can change the ST-T segment and also the QRS amplitude. The heart rate and blood pressure changes when there is a change in position from standing to sitting, sitting to …

The effect of body position, configuration, and orientation on cycling performance
… the effect of systematic manipulation of five body positions (seat tube angle) and configurations (hip angle) on cycling performance while controlling for body orientation (trunk angle with respect to the ground). Sixteen male subjects (21-35 years of age) were tested in each of five different …

Interrelationships between spinal and pelvic angles and hip muscle indices and their implications for workspace design
… standing and when adopting a variety of working positions, was investigated using angular measures. The hypothesis that spinal and pelvic posture is determined by body position was supported. The mechanism by which body position influences spinal and pelvic posture was investigated using angular …

A size and shape analysis in obstructive sleep apnea patients
… part of the upper airway in upright and supine body positions. Body position changes generated significant tongue deformation. TP splines revealed that the distinct tongue deformation caused by a body position change enable one to distinguish the asymptomatic group from the OSA subjects. …

ABDOMINAL PRESSURE PROFILING IN ADULT HORSES
… intra-abdominal pressure is both location and body position dependent in normal horses. We further hypothesized that sedation would not affect IAP in normal standing horses. Direct abdominal pressures were measured from 3 different locations in nine healthy, standing, adult horses (2 flank …

Spatial Disorientation in Hypergravity: Implication of oculomotor, otolithic and somatosensory cues
… illusions. These erroneous perceptions of body position were defined in the literature as spatial disorientation, which is principally considered as otolithic origin. In fact, during a forward sustained linear acceleration, the resultant of the imposed acceleration and gravity is no longer …
