The vestibulospinal stability test: normal limits.

A computerized method of recording and analyzing Romberg test responses has been employed to objectively and quantitatively study normal and spatially disoriented subjects. Preliminary results have demonstrated that the vestibulospinal stability test may be applied as both a screening and lesion-localization procedure simultaneously. A minimum of patient time is required (two minutes recording time), the procedure is noninvasive, and the technique may be used for all age groups.
