Published 2021 in Indian Journal of Community Medicine

ABSTRACT

The demographic characteristics of all participants were collected. Before performing the Modified Romberg Test, each participant was taught how the test was executed to minimize variation in test performance. The participants were instructed to stand with feet together and arms folded across the chest. All the participants were restrained from wearing footwear during the assessment. They were asked to hold each test condition for at least 30 s. Test failure was defined as a subject needing to open their eyes, moving their arms or feet to achieve stability or beginning to fall or stepping within a 30 s interval.[3] Each participant proceeded with the successive test conditions even if they failed to pass the previous one.
