in order to investigate the contribution of fluid shift from the legs to immersion-induced diuresis , 7 normal and 2 legless ( both legs disarticulated at the hip ) individuals were tested to measure changes in leg volume ( normal subjects ) and urinary excretion of solutes and water during a 3-h head-out water immersion ( hoi ) in thermoneutral water ( 34.5 +/- 0.5 degrees c ) with a 1-h control period before and after immersion .
