The Romberg test is a test that measures a persons sense of balance. Specifically, the test assesses the function of the dorsal column of the spinal cord (the dorsal column is responsible for proprioception).[1]

The Romberg test is an appropriate tool to diagnose sensory ataxia (a gait disturbance caused by abnormal proprioception involving information about the location of the joints). Examples of conditions include:Subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord (Vitamin B12 deficiency); Posterior cord syndrome (Posterior spinal artery infarction); Hemisection of spinal cord (Brown Sequard syndrome)[2]

It is also proven to be sensitive and accurate means of measuring the degree of disequilibrium caused by central vertigo, peripheral vertigo and head trauma.[3] It has been used in clinic for 150 years [4]
