Should not change clinical LBPP use; hypothesis-generating for mechanoreflex thresholds in sympathetic control.
Does lower body positive pressure alter muscle sympathetic nerve activity and hemodynamics in healthy young men?
Lower body positive pressure at 10 and 20 mmHg suppresses muscle sympathetic nerve activity, but this inhibitory effect is counteracted at 30 mmHg, likely due to the sympathoexcitatory effect of the intramuscular pressure-sensitive mechanoreflex.
Fu et al. (1998) studied this question.
