摘要
Body height changes are known to occur in response to changes in loads acting along the spine, such as those produced by movement from a recumbent to an upright posture. Lack of previously available data is addressed here by body height measurements closely spaced in time of ten normal subjects during 8 hours upright and 4 hours recumbent, with particular attention paid to the initial changes. Experimental errors are carefully defined and determined. A Kelvin-unit model is fitted to the mean data for each phase and confidence limits provided for the model equation parameters. Rapid height changes are shown to occur: 26% of the 8-hour loss occurred in the first hour upright, and 41% of the 4-hour recovery occurred in the first hour recumbent. © Lippincott-Raven Publishers.
