“…In addition, the composition of the model (an 11-cylinder including in each cylinder a two-pool model) allows to simulate changes at almost any body segment, based on fluid shifts between capillary space and interstitial fluid. As several processes that affect impedance measurements are related to body fluid redistribution between those spaces (e.g., Med Biol Eng Comput (2010) 48:531-541 537 ambient temperature, food and fluids consumption, ultrafiltration, changes in body posture) [5,21,27,34], in the future the present model might be used to investigate or reproduce some of these processes. The correction of segmental bioimpedance measurements on specific body postures may be of future importance [17,27,34].…”
