“…This parallels the fact that motion sickness is rare among drivers of actual vehicles but prevalent among passengers (Tyler and Bard, 1949 In these and other similar configurations, perceptual conflict theory may again be applied to explain the occurrence of sickness.…”

“…Seafaring militaries have been afflicted by the detrimental effects of motion sickness for as long as countries have set out to explore and conquer other lands. In the reviews by Bard (1948), Chinn & Smith (1955), Reason andBrand (1975), andTyler &Bard (1949), several references are made to seasickness by ancient mariners and naval seamen, and land-based motion sickness by armies traveling by camel across the desert. Some investigation into the physiological causes and symptomological treatment of motion sickness were made during the 17 th and 18 th century, but the maladies of motion sickness afflicted a small segment of the population, and therefore motion sickness research did not receive significant scientific or public attention.…”

Executive SummaryMotion sickness often leads to decrements in operational performance for personnel working in dynamic environments. Previous research examining pharmacological solutions for motion sickness have reported that dextroamphetamine (d-amphetamine) imparts significant protection against provocative motion, when compared to other standard countermeasures such as antihistamines, without conferring drowsiness or significant side effects. The military currently prescribes Dexedrine ® to assist with fatigue deterrence during periods of high operational tempo and/or extended flight operations. If the reported anti-motion sicknesses properties of d-amphetamine can be confirmed, the military could utilize a single medication for motion sickness and fatigue prevention. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and side effect profile of this potential motion sickness countermeasure for us e in military environments. It was hypothesized that subjects in the oral d-amphetamine (10 mg, d-amphet) condition will tolerate more head movements than subjects in the placebo condition, without exhibiting performance decrements or significant side effects. Thirty-six aviation candidates, 31 male and 5 female, were recruited and randomized to one of two treatment groups (10 mg, damphet or placebo) and then exposed to passive Coriolis cross-coupling. Medication efficacy was determined by number of head movements tolerated between groups. Cognitive and medication side-effect profiles for both groups were derived from performance on the ANAM ® Readiness Evaluation System (ARES ® ) cognitive battery, measurements of near-focus visual accommodation (VA), scores on the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), and motion sickness questionnaires. Analyses failed to discern significant differences in the number of head movements tolerated between groups or treatment effects over time on the ARES ® cognitive battery, VA, or KSS, p > 0.05. A negative linear relationship was found between Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire-Short (MSSQ-Short) scores and number of head movements (r = -.24, p < .05). In summary, d-amphetamine did not provide significant motion sickness protection when compared to placebo and no significant impacts on performance or medication-induced side effects were observed. 3 Introduction Definition and HistoryMotion sickness is the body's normal physiological response to unrecognized movement elicited by various forms of real or apparent motion. The primary signs and symptoms are nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, pallor, increased salivation, flushing/warmth, cold sweating, headache, and dizziness. The earliest writings on motion sickness and its ill effects were recorded by the ancient Greeks whose word "naus", from which the word nausea originated, means ship. Seafaring militaries have been afflicted by the detrimental effects of motion sickness for as long as countries have set out to explore and conquer other lands. In the reviews by Bard (1948), Chinn & Smith (1955), Reason andBrand (1975), andTyl...

“…Studies on small marine craft have found an incidence of emesis ranging 11 to 70% of the crew depending on the sea state (Holling et al, 1944;Tyler & Bard, 1949;Llano, 1955). Emesis was experienced by 15 to 60% of the passengers aboard ships making winter crossings of the Atlantic Ocean during the first few days of the crossing (Chinn, 1956;Chinn, 1963).…”

“…This adaptation and habituation is believed to be a response to changes in acceleration stimuli associated with the growth and aging processes (Collins, 1974;Reason & Graybiel, 1970). Unfortunately, in almost five per cent of the population adaptation does not occur (Hemingway, 1945;Tyler & Bard, 1949) The following diagram depicts the general timeline of adaptation through the discrepancy between sensory input and the neural store. According to neural mismatch hypothesis, the magnitude and duration of the mismatch signal is directly related to the onset of motion sickness (Reason & Graybiel, 1973).…”

DISTRIBUTION CODE ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words)This thesis proposes a linear model based on human physiology for the explanation of the Motion Sickness Incidence (MSI) data found in previously reported experiments. The major human sensory systems taken into account are vestibular, visual, and the interaction between these two. The model is validated against the previous descriptive model and the corresponding experimental data.The proposed model predicts MSI with adequate precision (less than ±5%) in the frequency range between 0.07 Hz and 0.25 Hz. The difference between the proposed model and the previous descriptive model is increased at the outer frequency regions of the data. NUMBER OF PAGES 18614.
