When people with this condition move from a lying position to a standing or sitting position, the sudden pooling of blood in the legs may cause a temporary decrease in blood circulation to the brain, causing a faint.
In the context of hypotension, orthostatic hypotension is the same as postural hypotension.

In my hospital it's called postural hypotension.
Postural hypotension
measure blood pressure in supine posture. ask him to stand without removing the cuff measure BP IMMEDIATELY after standing any difference of >20 mm Hg in systoloic bp and >10 mm Hg in diastolic BP is taken as postural hypotension
Go to this site, i have had the same problem. http://www.drdaveanddee.com/hypotension.html
Rise slowly from a sitting or recumbent posture. Postural hypotension occurs when some people stand or sit up suddenly. The effect of gravity causes a sudden decrease in the amount of blood in the brain and the individual may feel dizzy or faint, or temporarily lose vision. But getting up more slowly allows the body to compensate for gravity & eliminates these symptoms.
Mainly musculoskeletal system helps the circulatory system by avoiding pooling of blood in capacitance vessels, if they fail to do so then we have blackout which basically is postural hypotension.
Postural defects are with sicknessthat have to do with the posture
