MAL DE DEBARQUEMENT SYNDROME
Mal de Debarquement Syndrome is a rare and
misunderstood balance disorder. There is no known
reason for onset and no known cure. This condition
most often occurs after a cruise or other motion
experience. After disembarking the ship, plane or
other vehicle, a person most often feels a
persistent rocking sensation, a feeling that may
last for many years. There are a multitude of
symptoms that are experienced by those suffering
from this condition.
Since our brains are constantly adapting and
readapting to new stimuli, it is believed that MdDS
is the result of the brain not recognizing that a
person is back on solid ground after experiencing
some form of motion. As a result, one’s sense
of balance is no longer accurate. In essence, a
person has lost their stability and continues to
feel as though they are in motion.
