Dizziness can be defined as the experience of the perception of motion (usually a spinning motion). It is often associated with nausea and vomiting as well as a loss of motor control, causing difficulties standing or walking.

- Objective - The first is known as objective and describes when the patient has the sensation that objects in the environment are moving.
- Subjective - The second is known as subjective and refers to when the patient feels as if he or she is moving.
