    It is not clear whether sea legs are a form of aftereffect to the predominant frequency of the stimulation (e.g., the waves or the rocking of the train), whether it is a form of learning to adjust one's gait and posture. [citation needed] The "sea legs" condition needs to be distinguished from mal de debarquement, which is much more long-lasting.
