    Postural drop/Orthostatic hypotension non pharmacological options ( meta analysis review )

    Postural drop/Orthostatic hypotension non pharmacological options ( meta analysis review )

    This episode summarizes some key points from a systematic review by Logan et al( 2022) that looks at what are the current non-pharmacological interventions that can be used to treat postural drop/Orthostatic hypotension. 

    I recommend you still go and look at the original piece of work to get the full context as well as the limitations that the study highlights for each of the treatments mentioned.
