Self-induced motion sickness in unperturbed stance
Abstract
Motion sickness typically occurs when the body is subjected to externally imposed motions, but there are situations in which sickness occurs in the absence of imposed motion. We report a new and unanticipated instance of the latter. Subjects in a study of spontaneous standing postural sway sometimes reported dizziness and motion sickness. Reports of sickness were correlated with changes in postural sway. We consider possible implications of these findings for two current theories of motion sickness etiology: the sensory conflict theory and the postural instability theory.

As postural instability increases, motion sickness will develop.
“The concept is that as postural instability increases, motion sickness will develop (Smart et al. 1998; Stoffregen and Smart 1998).”
From Motion sickness: more than nausea and vomiting (2014) · cites this paper as Smart et al. 1998
Conditions in which postural instability precedes motion sickness are likely conditions in which postural hypotension is being elicited, producing symptoms such as can't see straight, feeling dizzy, hard to focus, everything is gray, and occasionally nausea.
“It is likely that the conditions in which postural instability precedes “motion sickness” are actually conditions in which postural hypotension is being elicited, hence symptoms such as “can’t see straight, feeling dizzy,” “hard to focus, everything is gray,” and occasionally nausea (Smart et al. 1998, 2002; Stoffregen et al. 2010; Villard et al. 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
