Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare two lying and standing procedures for measuring orthostatic vital signs. Thirty-five normotensive participants (mean age 21.6 years) participated in a randomized crossover study. Measures of blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and dizziness were collected at different lying and standing times. All subjects participated in a standardized walk paced at 4 miles per hour prior to lying. Using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post hoc contrasts, the mean systolic BP differed between 5 and 10 minutes of lying ( F = 21.33 ,p
