This case report describes physical therapy for motion sickness in a 34-year-old woman. The purpose of the report is twofold: (1) to provide an overview of the literature regarding motion sickness syndrome, causal factors, and rationale for treatment and (2) to describe the evaluation and treatment of a patient with motion sickness.
The patient initially had moderate to severe visually induced motion sickness, which affected her functional abilities and prevented her from working. Following 10 weeks of a primarily home-based program of visual-vestibular habituation and balance training, her symptoms were alleviated and she could resume all work-related activities.
Although motion sickness affects nearly one third of all people who travel by land, sea, or air, little documentation exists regarding prevention or management.
本病例报告描述了一名34岁女性晕动病的物理治疗情况。该报告的目的有两个：（1）概述关于晕动病综合征、病因及治疗原理的文献；（2）描述一名晕动病患者的评估与治疗过程。
该患者最初患有中度至重度视觉性晕动病，这影响了她的功能能力，使她无法工作。经过为期10周主要在家中进行的视觉-前庭习服和平衡训练计划后，她的症状得到缓解，能够恢复所有与工作相关的活动。
尽管晕动病影响了近三分之一通过陆地、海洋或空中旅行的人，但关于预防或管理的文献记载很少。
