This study introduces a simple method to quantify body sway during the Romberg test, aiding in the objective assessment of vestibulospinal disorders for ENT clinicians.

Area of Science:

  • Vestibulospinal Function
  • Clinical Neurophysiology
  • Quantitative Measurement

Background:

  • The Romberg test is crucial for evaluating vestibulospinal function.
  • Current subjective analysis limits objective interpretation.
  • Economical platforms for vestibulospinal disorder assessment are needed.

Observation:

  • Body sway was quantified by calculating the area between zero line and curves in sagittal and lateral directions.
  • Romberg test was performed with eyes open and closed.
  • A novel triangular diagram was developed for data evaluation.

Findings:

  • The study successfully quantified body sway using the Romberg test.
  • The triangular diagram provides a clear graphic representation of vestibulospinal reactions.
