| Abstract: | Background: Motion sickness (MS) occurs when the brain receives conflicting signals about body movement from the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. The otolith organs play a key role in perceiving verticality, and their function may be influenced by MS susceptibility. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of MS susceptibility on otolith-mediated verticality perception across different head positions. Methods: Forty-seven participants were classified into two groups based on the Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire–Short Form (MSSQ-SF): an MS group (n = 24) and a control group (n = 23). All participants completed static Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV), dynamic Subjective Visual Vertical (DVV), and Rod-and-Frame Test (RFT) using a virtual reality system. Measurements were conducted in three head tilt (upright, 30° left, 30° right). The absolute deviation from true vertical was calculated for each test. Results: While no significant differences were found in SVV performance between groups across head-tilt angles, the MS group exhibited significantly greater deviations in DVV at all positions and in RFT during 30° head tilts. Higher MSSQ scores correlated with greater deviations in DVV and RFT under tilt conditions. Conclusions: Although static verticality perception remains intact, individuals with MS exhibit greater deviations under dynamic and visually misleading conditions, suggesting subtle vestibular-perceptual deficits.
