Abstract

  Objective: The study was done to find the effects of the vestibular adaption exercises on the motion sickness. Methods: The study was done on 25 subjects with the signs and symptoms of motion sickness while travelling in a bus, car or train, selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and carried out in the O.P.D. of physiotherapy at CSS Hospital, Meerut. The score were measured before the application of the vestibular adaptation exercises and just after completion of vestibular adaption exercises for Total Duration of 40 min per session, Twice a  day (40 + 40 min= 80 min every day) per week, for 12 weeks. The mean standard deviation (S.D) and standard error (S.E) are being calculated to perform the entire statistical data. The “t” test was used for analysis and the significant difference was calculated from the statistical data. esults: The ‘t’ test result shows that the difference between 0­4 week is less significant as the ‘t’ value is 2.20, and the difference between 4­8 week is significant as the ‘t’ value is 2.46, while the difference between week 4­8 & week 8­12 is significant as the ‘t’ value is 2.47. After comparing the pre­experimental and post­ experimental data I saw that the vestibular adaption exercises have the very significant value on motion sickness. Therefore, vestibular adaption exercises can be safely used to decrease the motion sickness.
