Balance Assessment Test - Romberg's Test - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill
The Romberg test is typically performed on patients reporting issues with balance and vertigo who may have been experiencing falls
The Romberg's test allows a clinician to narrow down to cause of imbalance to either a vestibular issue or a problem with proprioception.
The Romberg's test would be positive in conditions affecting the dorsal columns, as such it is a clinical skill often performed in neurological examinations.
