Abstract

The people grouped together here as being susceptible to seasickness are otherwise normal individuals with normal vestibular function.The results of the present investigation can be summarized as follows :(1) Neither the resistant nor the susceptible groups show any spontaneous vestibular signs.(2) The longer duration of nystagmus and dizziness in both caloric and rotatory tests is generally associated with the higher susceptibility to seasickness, while resistant individuals are usually free of dizziness during the tests.(3) Susceptible group shows the characteristic pattern in our rotatory pattern test and caloric pattern test.(4) Functional unbalance of bilateral labyrinths has no significant relation to the susceptibiltity to seasickness. The test of semicircular canal system is also important to the study of seasickness.
