Table 2.

Changes in intracranial pressure resulting from altering position

Position change ICP change mean (SD) (mmHg) Mean percentage change (%) p= (paired t-test)
Supine to LP 2.8 (4.0) 13% 0.028*
Supine to standing -10.9 (4.2) -51% 0.0001****
Sitting to standing 0.2 (3.8) 2% 0.82
Standing vs. ambulatory recording -1.3 (1.1) 3% 0.39

ICP indicates intracranial pressure, SD indicates standard deviation, LP indicates lateral decubitus position, * indicates p = < 0.05, **** indicates p = < 0.0001
