Motion sickness

چکیده
The term motion sickness was originally introduced to provide a nosological classification for disorders elicited by exposure to unusual patterns of motion, such as sea sickness, train sickness, and swing sickness. The term came to subsume air sickness as well, and in recent years, simulator sickness, space sickness, and cybersickness (virtual environment sickness). It is now recognized that both space sickness and cybersickness are complex syndromes that include many sensory-motor and postural components in addition to motion sickness. Motion sickness is often equated with nausea and vomiting. However, the signs and symptoms of motion sickness are much more complex, involving a wide range of autonomic nervous system activity, primarily of the sympathetic branch. Table 1 lists some of the more prominent features.

متن کاملResponses in skin microcirculation to vestibular stimulation before and during motion sickness.
BACKGROUND Observation of physiological changes during motion sickness is required to quantify the degree of sickness. The review of the literature does not show unifying results. An objective symptom of motion sickness is facial pallor. It reflects changes in skin microcirculation which have not been measured so far. METHODS Eleven healthy volunteers susceptible to motion sickness were subje...
متن کاملPostural instability precedes motion sickness.
We evaluated the hypothesis that postural instability precedes the onset of motion sickness. Subjects standing in a "moving room" were exposed to nearly global oscillating optical flow. In the experimental condition, the optical oscillations were a complex sum-of-sines between 0.1 and 0.3 Hz, with an excursion of 1.8 cm. This optical motion was of such low frequency and magnitude that it was so...
متن کاملDemonstrating the Potential for Dynamic Auditory Stimulation to Contribute to Motion Sickness
Auditory cues can create the illusion of self-motion (vection) in the absence of visual or physical stimulation. The present study aimed to determine whether auditory cues alone can also elicit motion sickness and how auditory cues contribute to motion sickness when added to visual motion stimuli. Twenty participants were seated in front of a curved projection display and were exposed to a virt...
