Romberg Test
The Romberg test is a test of proprioception. This test is performed by asking the patient to stand, feet together with eyes open, then with eyes closed. The patient with significant proprioceptive loss will be able to stand still with eyes open because vision will compensate for the loss of position sense but will sway or fall with their eyes closed because they are unable to keep their balance.
