Motion sickness, vestibular adaptation, Barany chairAbstract
Adaptation makes part of vestibular therapy and serves to improve the functioning of the balance system, which is essential for managing motion sickness in flight personnel. For this reason, it was decided to establish a protocol for vestibular adaptation using the Barany chair property of the Colombian Air Force Directorate of Aerospace Medicine, in order to unify criteria around the parameters and protocols defined by other military forces. Eleven pilots affected by motion sickness and treated at the Directorate from 2016 to 2020 participated in the demonstration sessions, which were performed in accordance with the new protocol. During these sessions, researchers could observe the recovery of all pilots, who overcame the symptoms and could get back to their flight activity after receiving instructions on how to reincorporate to their duties.
