Female subjects were better able to maintain cerebral flow velocities during postural changes and demonstrated better cerebral autoregulation, which may partially explain the higher rates of orthostatic hypotension-related hospitalizations in elderly men.

The three component series equivalent electrical model was chosen to account for the skin electrical properties and current measurements were performed during the NMES sessions in a non-invasive way, in order to assess changes occuring during each stimulation session and due to long-term NMES.

Cardiac output does not appear to play an important role in cerebral autoregulation during thigh cuff testing andEstimations of cardiac output and stroke volume did not strongly correlate between Modeflow and long axis left ventricular echocardiography.
