Georgian Med News. 2023 Jun:(339):113-116.

Abstract

Recently, due to the emergence of a variety of modifications of air, land, water vehicles and an increase in their speed and maneuverability, the number of people with severe manifestations of motion sickness has also increased. The relevance of this problem is dictated by the fact that, despite significant achievements in the field of preventive medicine, a significant number of people prone to motion sickness have been observed to date. Thus, among persons using land modes of transport, the percentage of sick people reaches 15.0%, air modes 20.0%, while using water modes of transport, the number of sick people reaches 30.0%. The significance of this problem is dictated by the fact that the psycho-physiological capabilities of our body do not keep pace with the rapidly increasing speed-maneuvering characteristics of vehicles.
