Passive orthostatism using a tilt table was introduced in patients with impaired oxygenation [Pao2/Fio(2 P/F) ratio < 300] after cardiovascular surgery. Our passive orthostatism protocol was as follows. Patient was transferred to a tilt table under endotracheal intubation with pulmonary artery catheter monitoring, and rested for 10 minutes in a supine position, followed by 45-degree tilt for 5 minutes, and then passive orthostatism at 60-degree for 25 minutes. P/F ratio was significantly improved during passive orthostatism. Improvement in P/F ratio was confirmed even 1 hour after completion of the protocol. No obvious adverse events were found throughout the protocol. On average, 15 hours (2~72 hours, median 4 hours) after the introduction of passive orthostatism, weaning from respirator was achieved.

Orthostatic test shows higher systolic blood pressure and sympathetic response in uncomplicated type 1 diabetes patients with normal V̇O vs. healthy controls.

Purpose: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy remains underdiagnosed in type 1 diabetes mellitus, posing a risk for severe complications, particularly in patients with lowered V̇O, compared to controls. This study aimed to determine whether heart rate variability during cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests reveals early signs of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes mellitus and normal cardiovascular fitness, compared to healthy controls.
Methods: A type 1 diabetes mellitus group (n = 14) with no other diagnosed diseases (diabetes duration 15 ± 7 years) and a control group (n = 31) underwent deep breathing test, passive orthostatic test, and cardiopulmonary exercise test.

Introduction: Few studies have reported the treatment and rehabilitation of combined fractures of the femur, tibia, and ankle in the same lower limb.
Case Report: A 69-year-old man presented to our hospital with a fall injury due to high-energy trauma after falling from a 5 m ladder while painting and landing on both feet. Examination revealed right femoral supracondylar; left tibial plateau; right calcaneal; left ankle crush; first and third lumbar vertebrae burst; sacral; C7, Th1, and Th9 compression; and bilateral acetabular fractures.
The Impact of Spinopelvic and Hip Mobility on Passive Hip Flexion Range of Motion Assessment.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kyoto City Hospital, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Measuring passive hip flexion range of motion (ROM) is challenging due to compensatory movements. Despite the interest in using functional lateral radiographs for assessing hip mobility, the relationship with passive hip flexion ROM remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate this relationship and clarify spinopelvic parameters and mobility factors influencing variations in passive and radiographic hip flexion ROM.

We explored in 75 s long trials the effects of visually induced self-rotation and displacement (SR&D) on the horizontally extended right arm of standing subjects (N = 12). A "tool condition" was included in which subjects held a long rod. The extent of arm movement was contingent on whether the arm was extended out Freely or Pointing at a briefly proprioceptively specified target position.

Orthostatic testing, involving the transition from different body positions (e.g., from lying or sitting position to an upright or standing position), offers valuable insights into the autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning and cardiovascular regulation reflected through complex adjustments in, e.
