Postural instability, a key factor in motion sickness, may share common ground with vertebral subluxation through system inefficiency. Understanding postural dynamics offers a new framework for these conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Chiropractic

Background:

  • Posture is increasingly studied from a dynamic, behavioral perspective.
  • Research links postural control to motion sickness, with instability preceding sickness.
  • Chiropractic literature highlights vertebral subluxation's impact on neurologic function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the dynamic (behavioral) aspects of posture.
  • To connect vertebral subluxation to postural instability and motion sickness.
  • To propose inefficiency as a common link between these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review using manual and computer searches (Index Medicus, PsycINFO, ISI Science Citation Index Expanded).
  • Emphasis on postural dynamics, vertebral subluxation, and motion sickness research.

Main Results:

  • Postural instability predicts motion sickness.
  • Vertebral subluxation may cause nonspecific, variable symptoms similar to motion sickness.
  • Both conditions can be characterized by systemic inefficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Methods for studying postural dynamics can benefit healthcare practitioners and psychologists.
  • This research provides a framework for addressing complex issues like motion sickness and subluxation.
