Posture Detection for Automated Abdominal Binder

NCT02280369 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The automated inflatable abdominal binder is an investigational device for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing) in autonomic failure patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the binder in detecting body posture during different types of human motion patterns and activities of daily living, and to develop new (and better) ways to detect upright posture. In particular, the investigators want to determine if activities of daily living, normally encountered by patients (lying down, sitting, standing, walking, and climbing up and down steps), interfere with the detection of upright posture used to trigger the device. Studies will be conducted in healthy subjects because the main purpose of this study is to evaluate posture detection rather than treating orthostatic hypotension.
