EXPLAINED (ACCURACY-CHECKED)

Mal de débarquement syndrome is a persistent perception of self-motion (rocking/swaying) after passive motion exposure (cruises, flights), attributed to maladaptive persistence of vestibular adaptation.

Established neuro-otology: mal de débarquement = persistent post-motion rocking from vestibular re-adaptation failure. Textbook-level.
