5. Static balance: Modified Romberg Test

Modified Romberg Test: With this test, we can get a general picture of the patient’s static balance ability on different surfaces. In the standing position of the patient, the legs are placed 10 cm apart and the opposite elbows are held with their hands. In this case, the person focuses on a target 1-2 m away and tries to maintain his balance. The test is performed for 15 seconds or until the loss of balance occurs (falling, stepping to the side, jumping, turning, etc.), and the examiner measures the elapsed time in seconds. If the subject can hold the position for 15 seconds, the test is “passed”. If the test subject is unable to hold the position for 15 seconds, he may make another trial. The test takes place in four steps under the conditions stated below. 

Steps: 1. Open eyes/solid surface, 15 sec 2. Closed eyes/solid surface, 15 sec 3. Open eyes/suitable surface, 20 sec 4. Closed eyes/suitable surface 20 sec. 

In addition to the “passed” or “failed” categories of the test, it also provides the opportunity to record the exact time, which is also suitable for measuring progress later in life.
