Forty-nine cases summarizing the experience with motion sickness in rated personnel evaluated at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine from 1962-1969 are reviewed. Typically, the individual referred for evaluation is a young navigator or pilot who is found to have a strong previous history of motion sickness and increased sensitivity to Coriolis stimulation. Factors present in the past history along with laboratory examinations help to determine whether the etiology is primarily organic or psychiatric. Laboratory examinations included audiogram, electroencephalogram, tilt table, caloric tests, Coriolis stimulation, centrifuge run, F-100 ride, and blood indices. Psychologic testing was performed in 16 cases, and all patients were given psychiatric interviews. The aircraft the patient was current in at the time of referral, his rating by command, rating code, flying hours, recommended disposition and final disposition are reported. (Author)
