Standing under pressure: hemodynamic effects of abdominal compression type and intensity in healthy adults
Surface area appears to be a more critical factor than pressure magnitude in stabilizing hemodynamics during orthostatic stress, with significant effects observed immediately upon standing. These findings provide physiological insights for optimizing compression therapy in orthostatic disorders and suggest that wider-area compression garments may offer superior hemodynamic benefits compared to focal compression.
