Abstract
Date Presented 4/17/2015
This study tested the effects of deep pressure, applied through an inflatable vest, on autonomic arousal in typical adults. Results indicate that deep pressure can reduce sympathetic arousal and can increase parasympathetic arousal and may be useful with diagnostic groups that exhibit overarousal or anxiety.
