Definition for Romberg test
From Biology Forums Dictionary
Romberg's test or the Romberg maneuver is a test used by doctors and physical therapists in a neurological examination, and also as a test for drunken driving. The exam is based on the premise that a person requires at least two of the three following senses to maintain balance while standing: proprioception (the ability to know one's body in space); vestibular function (the ability to know one's head position in space); and vision (which can be used to monitor [and adjust for] changes in body position).
