A test battery designed primarily to assess vestibular function has been used for several years to evaluate individuals referred to our laboratory. Because some of the test conditions have proved to be nauseogenic to some individuals, methods of assessing disturbance during these procedures have been used to pursue a second goal, viz., the estimation of motion sickness susceptibility. This report, which focuses on the latter goal, is a retrospective comparison of results on three tests obtained from two groups of subjects, one of which was a group of Navy and Marine aviation personnel who had suffered multiple attacks of airsickness. Results from three laboratory tests of motion sickness susceptibility indicated that there are substantial differences between the airsick group and the unselected comparison group on observer ratings and individual self-ratings of motion sickness symptoms. The provocative stimuli in each laboratory test, as well as suggestions concerning how multiple tests may prove effective in predicting motion sickness, are discussed.

Background: To overcome the challenge of psychotherapist scarcity in applying pain psychotherapy in clinical practice, we developed a virtual reality (VR) program delivering weeks of pain psychotherapy without psychotherapists, with a focus on minimizing the risk of motion sickness.
Objectives: We conducted a single-arm pilot study to assess the efficacy and motion sickness associated with a VR session delivering guided imagery and breathing techniques selected from the initial course of our VR program, involving patients suffering from various acute and chronic pain.
Methods: Patients underwent a 15-min VR session.

Article Synopsis
- Family caregivers (FCGs) of cancer patients in hospice face psychological challenges and decreased quality of life due to caregiving demands, signaling a need for supportive interventions.
- A virtual reality (VR) nature experience was implemented, allowing FCGs to immerse themselves in calming scenes at home, which they found to enhance relaxation and provide an escape from their caregiving stress.
- Preliminary findings indicate that the VR intervention is feasible and acceptable, suggesting it can support the emotional health of hospice FCGs, though further research with larger and more diverse groups is necessary.
Remote Extended Reality with Markerless Motion Tracking for Sitting Posture Training.

Dynamic postural control during sitting is essential for functional mobility and daily activities. Extended reality (XR) presents a promising solution for posture training in addressing conventional training limitations related to patient accessibility and ecological validity. We developed a remote XR rehabilitation system with markerless motion tracking for sitting posture training.
