Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Difference in performance on cognitive test battery in supine versus standing
position.
Secondary outcome
Influence of hemodynamic parameters on de the difference in cognitive
performance of standing versus supine position.
Background summary
Evolution has driven homo sapiens towards an erect posture, with the upright
position reflecting an active state and supine position reflecting a state of
rest. These differences in activity related to body position might be of
influence on cognitive performance. Current literature offers too little
information on the effect of body position on cognitive performance.
Study objective
the aim of the study is to test whether body position is of influence on
cognitive performance.
Study design
Participants will perform a cognitive test battery, both in supine and standing
positions. During the test continuous hemodynamic parameters will be measured,
such as blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output.
Study burden and risks
There are no risks for the participants of the study. The burden of the study
consists merely of 45 minutes spare time.
