Commonly used methods for autonomic function tests: a standing test, counting the pulse for 1 minute in the supine position, and then counting the pulse for 1 minute after standing up. The sympathetic excitability is enhanced by increasing the pulse from the lying position to the standing position by 10-20 times. If the position is reduced from 10 to 20 times from the standing position to the lying position, the parasympathetic excitability is enhanced.
