Abstract des Autors
The effects of gravity inversion oscillation procedures on systemic blood pressure (BP), pulse rate, intraocular pressure, and central retinal arterial pressure were studied. Twenty healthy men oscillated between the upright and inverted state from 80 to 150 times during a 15-minute period. Measurements were made in the completely inverted stage of a cycle at 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Systemic BP fell throughout the 15-minute oscillation period. Both systolic and diastolic pressure were significantly reduced in each measurement period. Pulse rate also decreased on inversion and throughout the oscillation period. Intraocular pressure rose initially, then fell slightly, but was still elevated above preinversion values. The authors conclude that full inversion using an oscillation procedure presents no risk to normotensive healthy subjects. Verf.-Referat
