Objectives Hypertension contributes substantially to poor physical function and autonomic imbalance. It may cause instability in posture that limits daily activities and can lead to devastating falls. Centre of pressure (CoP) is a commonly used index of postural stability while standing and is a measure of the activity of the motor system, which ma...

Vital parameter monitoring through remote health monitoring system (RHMS) becomes critical for effective disease management and manpower safety and confidence. In a low resource setting like India,...

Objective Bipedalism in humans demanded robust postural control systems to maintain balance and equilibrium during variety of volitional activities. Adaptive learning is a key characteristic of these control systems. Postural control and balance are associated with autonomic changes trying to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis during postural imba...

While blood pressure is said to a modifiable risk factor for many cardiovascular and neurological diseases, the diagnosis of hypertension using Sphygmomanometry must be complemented with other tests to find central blood pressures. A newer, non-invasive method...

e12564 Background: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a non-invasive procedure to assess cardiac functions and provides an index of autonomic function that intricately controls vascular tone. Studying the alteration in HRV with agents producing oxidative stress will provide useful information about disease progression. Lower HRV indicates low level of...
