RESUMO: Este artigo refere-se ao enjoo de movimento. Após uma breve descrição da anatomia do aparelho vestibular referimos as teorias acerca da génese do enjoo de movimento. Incidimos particular atenção na teoria do conflito de pistas (Reason & Brand, 1975), na teoria da instabilidade postural (Stoffregen & Riccio, 1991), e na teoria do veneno (Treisman, 1977). Por fim, comentamos as diversas possibilidades de previsão de sintomas e o seu tratamento.

Motion sickness: aetiology, predisposition factors and adaptation

ABSTRACT: This article is about motion sickness. After a brief description of the anatomy of the vestibular apparatus we review the theories about the genesis of motion sickness. We will centre our attention on the cue conflict theory (Reason & Brand, 1975), on the postural instability approach (Stoffregen & Riccio, 1991), and on the poison theory (Treisman, 1977). At last we will discuss the symptoms prevision and its treatment.

Key words: Motion Sickness, Simulators, Virtual reality
