	Orientation (mental) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Problems with orientation lead to disorientation, and can be due to various conditions, from delirium to intoxication.
		The exact cerebral region involved in orientation is uncertain, but lesions of the brain stem and the cerebral hemispheres have been reported to cause disorientation, suggesting that they act together in maintaining awareness and its subfunction of orientation.
		Disorientation is the divergence of the normal time and space feeling.

	Disorientation - WrongDiagnosis.com
		Disorientation refers to the mental symptom of feeling loss or unsure of your location.
		The symptom is similar to other symptoms and must be distinguished from symptoms such as confusion, concentration difficulty or forgetfulness.
		Anxiety attack - a milder anxiety attack is less likely to cause disorientation symptoms versus a full panic attack.

	Spatial disorientation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spatial disorientation is a condition in which an aircraft pilot's perception of direction (proprioception) does not agree with reality.
		Spatial disorientation can also affect instrument-rated pilots in certain conditions.
		Spatial orientation in flight is difficult to achieve because numerous sensory stimuli (visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive) vary in magnitude, direction, and frequency.

	RedOrbit - Health - Predictors of Disorientation Among Brain Injury and Stroke Patients During Rehabilitation
		The research question was "What are the variables associated with temporal disorientation among stroke and brain injury patients during their stay in rehabilitation?" A logistic regression analysis was performed on temporal orientation (oriented or disoriented during the stay) as the outcome measure.
		Disorientation is a persistent phenomenon during rehabilitation for both TBI and NTBI patients.
		The incidence of disorientation that occurred following 3 days of orientation was much higher than anticipated, and disorientation on admission to rehabilitation was a statistically significant predictor of a patient becoming disoriented during his or her stay.

	Disorientation, Confusion, and the Symptoms of A.D.D.
		Disorientation and distorted perceptions do more than create symptoms of dyslexia.
		The dyslexic or A.D.D. child uses disorientation for entertainment; he may be disoriented for hours on end creating the imaginary world he plays in.
		Because of their frequent disorientation, many dyslexic or A.D.D. individuals do not learn the basic lessons of life.

	Spatial Disorientation Stroies
		My spatial disorientation occurred as I was climbing from VFR into the base of a cloud and had just been swiveling my head looking for traffic.
		Spatial disorientation (vertigo) is something that any pilot who has flown in actual instrument meteorological conditions, or overwater at night, has or will experience at one point or another during his flying career.
		In other cases of disorientation where red cockpit lighting was used, I discovered I could overcome the illusion quickly by turning on a white light- I always had a flashlight handy for that purpose.

	Expanding Hypertext: Does It Address Disorientation? Depends on Individuals' Adventurousness
		To measure the degree of disorientation the participants experienced while they read the articles, five 10-point Likert-type questions were developed and used to create an additive index (81% of variance explained, Cronbach's =.86) for each article.
		However, the fact that no significant disorientation effect was detected across the conditions, and expanding hypertext seemed to pattern similarly with PH, indicates that hyperlinks, serving as a stimulus rather than fostering nonlinearity, seem to influence individuals' feeling of disorientation, depending on the individuals' varying degrees of adventurousness.
		Based on a review of the predicted regression lines between adventurousness and disorientation for all three conditions, the decision to use a three-level categorization was made in order to examine the interaction effect while best preserving the original regression lines.

	Spatial Disorientation the Key to OSU Kingair 200- Crash
		Once spatial disorientation results from an incipient unusual attitude, statistics give the probability of a successful recovery by a disoriented pilot with a serviceable (STBY) attitude indicator to be as low as 15 to 20%.
		In a post-accident interview, the air safety inspector who conducted the pilot's March 1998 Part 135 checkride indicated that the pilot tended to "lock in on a problem and not fly the airplane." This observation is consistent with the circumstances of this accident.
		Spatial disorientation can occur in a banked airplane when it rolls very slowly at a rate that is not detected by the motion-sensing organs of the inner ear.

	Chapter 3: The problem of disorientation
		Disorientation problems can arise in the context of these different areas: the subject (that is the contents) and the presentation of the subject (that is the form).
		Modes are notorious for causing disorientation and confusion (Smith et alia 1982).
		Disorientation problems could be reduced by decreasing the structural complexity, for instance, by using sequence and hierarchy only, and avoiding complex webs.

	Treatment Benefits for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Defined
		The post-traumatic positional vertigo group was composed of 16 patients (28 percent, 12 males and four females), the PTMAD group was composed of 24 individuals (41 percent, 22 males and two females), and the post-traumatic spatial disorientation group was composed of 11 individuals (19 percent) (eight males and three females).
		The average age in the migraine group and the disorientation group was 30 and 32 years of age respectively, whereas the average age of the positional dizziness group was 42 years of age.
		It was the disorientation group (19 percent of our total population) that had a more protracted course and on average did not have resolution of symptoms until 39 weeks.

	Wayfinding Disorientation in Physical Facilities - Carpman Grant
		Disorientation is a significant cause of stress in everyday life.
		In health care facilities, when ambulance drivers or seriously ill patients can't quickly find emergency rooms, or when a code blue team cannot locate a visitor having a cardiac arrest in a parking structure, wayfinding becomes a matter of life and death.
		In other types of facilities, like airports or office buildings, opportunities, income, and time may be lost as a result of disorientation and its effects on missed meetings, travel connections, or presentations.

	House of World Cultures \| DisORIENTation
		DisORIENTation had attempted to establish a relationship between Berlin/Central Europe and the Arab world and to show the context of artistic output there with all its social and political implications.
		Of crucial importance here was the setting up of an interdisciplinary laboratory with selected artists from the region, who produced work in Berlin for the project and entered into an exchange with artists and partners from Berlin and the rest of Germany.
		DisORIENTation was the result of direct cooperation between experts and cultural institutions in Syria, Palestine and Egypt, and the House of World Cultures in Berlin.

	Atlas Aviation - SPATIAL DISORIENTATION
		Statistics show that between 5 to 10% of all general aviation accidents can be attributed to spatial disorientation, and 90% of these accidents are fatal.
		Spatial orientation in flight is sometimes difficult to achieve because the various types of sensory stimuli (visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive) vary in magnitude, direction, and frequency.
		The Aeromedical Education Division of the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute offers spatial disorientation demonstrations with the GYRO and the VRSDD in Oklahoma City and at all of the major airshows in the continental U.S. Obtain training and maintain your proficiency in aircraft control by reference to instruments.

	Atlas Aviation - Spatial Disorientation
		For example, proprioceptors make it possible for you to know that you are seated while flying; however, they alone will not let you differentiate between flying straight and level and performing a coordinated turn.
		It is important to know the difference between spatial disorientation and airsickness.
		Spatial disorientation demonstrators provide pilots the experience of vestibular and visual illusions in a safe, ground-based environment–and they teach ways to avoid spatial disorientation while flying.
