Galvanic vestibular stimulation: a novel modulatory countermeasure for vestibular-associated movement disorders Estimulação galvânica vestibular para corrigir transtornos neurológicos associados à disfunção vestibular

Motion sickness (MS) or kinetosis is a sensory-motor dys function caused by a mismatch between the visual ly perceived movement and its neural integration with the proprioceptive and vestibular system1,2. As a result of this mismatch balance, gait and locomotion anomalies appear, which worsens the disabling dysautonomia that such mismatch originates1,3-5. These neural disorders debut during land, marine, and aerospace motion, among others conditions1,2. MS can be developed in up to 39% of airplane pilot students6,7. Of remark, kinetosis is present in up to 91% of the human factors involved in aerial accidents3. Despite repeated exposure to environmental conditions simulating kinetosis, MS appears
