    A new computerized method objectively analyzes Romberg test responses for spatial disorientation. This vestibulospinal stability test offers quick, noninvasive screening and lesion localization across all ages.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Biomechanics
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • The Romberg test is a clinical balance assessment.
    • Objective quantification of postural sway is needed.
    • Spatial disorientation affects various patient populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a computerized method for analyzing Romberg test responses.
    • To evaluate its utility in studying normal and disoriented subjects.
    • To assess its potential as a screening and diagnostic tool.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computerized system for recording and analyzing Romberg test data.
    • Application of the system to study subjects with and without spatial disorientation.
    • Utilizing the vestibulospinal stability test.
