Counterpressure Maneuvers in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

The CPM-biofeedback training consists of a baseline 2-minutes active standing and the following four different physical maneuver: leg crossing and muscle tensing, heel raises (10 tiptoeing per minute), squatting, unilateral handgrip (20 times per minute). All exercises will be performed under continuous heart rate and blood pressure monitoring to enable the study participants to gain feedbacks on the effect of the maneuvers on their own biosignals.
