Question

Did hydrostatic pressure helps for blood circulation from lower extremity to upper extrmity

Answer 1

Highlights

•
Standing work has become popular as a mean of reducing sedentary seated work.
•
Very little research on lower limb outcomes during standing work has been completed.
•
We compared standing/seated lower limb blood flow, blood pressure and discomfort.
•
Standing work led to mean 77% greater lower limb blood flow and 37.2 mm Hg greater MAP.
•
This suggests that recommendations for stationary standing work should be tempered.
