Vertigo and Dizziness from Environmental Motion: Visual Vertigo, Motion Sickness, and Drivers' Disorientation
Abstract
The normal vestibular system may be adversely affected by environmental challenges which have characteristics that are unfamiliar or ambiguous in the patterns of sensory stimulation they provide. A disordered vestibular system lends susceptibility even to quotidian environmental experiences as the sufferer becomes dependent on potentially misleading, nonvestibular sensory stimuli. In both cases, the sequelae may be vertigo, incoordination, imbalance, and unpleasant autonomic responses. Common environmental motion conditions include visual vertigo, motion sickness, and motorists' disorientation. The core therapy for visual vertigo, motion sickness, and drivers' disorientation is progressive desensitization within a cognitive framework of reassurance and explanation, plus anxiolytic tactics and autogenic control of autonomic symptoms.

Under operational or recreational conditions, symptoms characteristic of motion sickness may be misinterpreted as fatigue or boredom when actually elicited by motion.
“Symptoms that are actually characteristic of motion sickness may be interpreted as due to fatigue or just boredom when in fact they are being elicited by exposure to motion (Bronstein et al. 2013; Guingard and McCauley 1990; Lawther and Griffin 1986; Kennedy 1975).”

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.
