Staying healthy is a priority for many people. That is why, especially after a certain age, it is important to carry out routine checks. Science shows that simple, effective exercises are enough to stay young even after the age of 60. Sometimes they are just simple and apparently harmless gestures that indicate the possible presence of some diseases. In the case of neurological problems there is in fact a very common test for their evaluation. It could highlight the presence of some problems related to the nervous system and to some functions of the organism. It is truly amazing how this simple exercise can detect certain neurological disorders in the body.
What are the body’s signals about our health?
There are many factors that can make the brain go haywire, starting with nutrition. In fact, some scientific studies have shown that there are at least 5 foods that can be particularly harmful to the brain. However, nervous system disorders do not depend solely and exclusively on what you bring to the table. To those, for example, it will have happened at least once to lose balance, have poor coordination or difficulty in carrying out movements. Apparently trivial and common episodes one would think. Yet, if such problems no longer represent a simple and sporadic causality, it may become necessary to consult an expert doctor. In such circumstances, one of the assessment tools that specialists could use is a test that is as simple as it is effective in assessing. This is the Romberg Test or Romberg Maneuver.

The Romberg test is an evaluation tool which, as many scientific studies state, is generally used to identify problems with balance or ataxias. The latter term describes all those disorders of movement, coordination and balance that can have different manifestations and origins. The Romberg test has different versions and does not require specific preparation for those who undergo the test.
Generally, during a specialist visit, the person must stand upright for 30 seconds with their eyes open. Thereafter, he must hold the position for another 30 seconds with his eyes closed. In the latter case, the test can also be performed with the arms extended in front of the body or crossed on the torso. Significant fluctuations or falls in the test run could be an indicator for the assessing physician.
To discriminate false positives, for example due to anxious states, the clinical eye of the expert is of course always indispensable. In these cases, it is up to the doctor to request further tests or specific tests.
