The measurement at rest showed a significant elevation of pressure in the sitting position compared with lying, standing, and bending positions. No significant difference in pressure was found between the two kinds of lifting exercises. © 1994 Raven Press, Ltd., New York.Mahidol UniversityMedicineArticleSCOPUS
