Abstract

This work was designed to develop a mathematical model based on the results of computed stabilometry in the subjects differing in the degree of resistance to motion sickness. The model is designed for the purpose of instant diagnostics in the course of occupational selection. Stabilometric characteristics of 61 men aged from18 to 24 years were compared with those obtained by the method of continuous cumulation of Coriolis accelerations. The accuracy of diagnostics with the use of stabilometry was estimated at 93.2%. It is concluded that computed stabilometry provides an efficacious tool for the assessment of sensitivity to motion sickness for the purpose of professional selection.
