Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will see if a special piece of equipment can help burn patients who have been in bed for a long time to get out of bed without feeling dizzy or faint.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To measure stroke volume, cardiac output, arterial blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity in human patients while they undergo exposure to head-up tilt that is designed to test their tolerance to an orthostatic challenge.
