Tilt table progression includes which set of incremental angles?

• A. 15, 30, 45, 60
• B. 30, 45, 60, 80, 85
• C. 25, 50, 75, 90
• D. 0, 15, 30, 45

Answer: (B)

Tilting tests use progressive angles to gradually increase orthostatic stress while you watch how the body responds. The key idea is to move from moderate tilts toward near-vertical in small, controlled steps, so you can monitor vital signs and symptoms at each position and stop if something adverse happens. Starting at a moderate tilt around 30 degrees and then advancing to 45, 60, and finally high angles like 80 and 85 degrees provides a safe, systematic ramp-up that yields meaningful data without large, abrupt jumps. Sequences that stay low or jump too quickly to near-vertical don’t give as complete a picture of how the body handles upright posture. So the set that includes 30, 45, 60, 80, 85 best fits this approach.
