Vielen Dank, das klingt doch viel besser als "haltungsbedingt" (weit verbreitet in Vet. med.)und war mir noch nicht untergekommen. Es gibt auch das Orthostase-SYNDROM (das meinte wohl dmd)

disagree  Detlef Eberwein: Ich bin nun kein Mediziner, aber Roche und Pschyrembel sagen mir für Orthostase beide "aufrechte Körperhaltung". Die hat man bei "postural hypotension" gerade nicht. Da liegt man flach, im Zweifelsfall auf offener Straße.

  -> Ich bin aber nun mal Arzt, und dieses Ding heisst kurz Orthostasesyndrom
neutral  Florian v. Savigny: Das sagt man so in der Klinik, aber ich würde es als Jargon bezeichnen (Kurzform, sozusagen).
