Clinical Tests for Balance

Clinical tests for balance are assessments performed by healthcare professionals to evaluate how well your body maintains stability and coordination. Common tests include standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe in a straight line, or specialized exams like the Romberg test, where you stand still with eyes closed to assess sensory and neurological function. These tests help identify issues with your vestibular system (inner ear), vision, or proprioception (body awareness). They are useful in diagnosing balance disorders, guiding treatment, and preventing falls, ensuring safe and effective management of your overall stability.
