Title: Pressure Sensitivity of the Chest Bone as a measure for Human Resilience

Biography

Biography: Søren Ballegaard

Abstract

Human Resilience may be evaluated from the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. We tested the hypothesis that Pressure Pain Sensitivity of the Chest bone (PPS) may be used as a marker for ANS function using the PPS response to a Tilt Table Test (TTT). Objectives: 1) To test the claim of an association between PPS and Systolic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate responses to TTT; 2) to test the prediction that a reduction of PPS raises the TTT response and lowers risk factors for ANS dysfunction (ANSD)
