Romberg ratio in quiet stance posturography-Test to retest reliability.

Tjernström, Fredrik LU ; Björklund, Måns LU and Malmström, Eva-Maj (2015) In Gait & Posture 42(1). p.27-31
Abstract
We investigated test to retest reliability and intraindividual variability of Romberg ratios in quiet stance posturography. Thirty-six healthy young adults (17 males, 19 females aged 15-38 years) were divided into 3 groups with different time-intervals between consecutive trials (20min, 3h and 24h respectively). Each group performed 5 posturography recordings in a randomized order of eyes open (EO) or closed (EC)+once after 3 months. We measured the torque variance in posturography and calculated Romberg ratios. Total postural sway as well as sway above and below 0.1Hz was analyzed.
