Motion Exposure, Cognitive Impairment, and Risk Factors for Mal de Débarquement Syndrome.

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the link between motion exposure and cognitive impairments in Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS).
• Analyzed sea states using IMU variability to assess motion exposure.
• Conducted brief cognitive tests focusing on visuospatial memory skills.
• Monitored symptoms and cognitive impairments over a defined period.
• Higher IMU variability correlated with increased acute symptoms and specific memory deficits.
• No significant difference in MdDS incidence by leg observed.
• Targeted cognitive tests could help identify individuals at risk of MdDS.
