Background: Changes in autonomic function are often caused by spinal cord injuries, which lead to limited orthostatic positioning in these patients.
Objective: To investigate the cardiovascular and biomechanical parameters during 90 min of postural elevation equipment usage comparing spinal cord injury and healthy subjects.
Methods: A device was used that allowed patients with spinal cord injuries to remain in an orthostatic posture for 90 min.
