The designation of postures used in this study is not identical with the traditional Romberg sign which essentially consists in the conspicuous increase of body sway precipitated by the closure of eyes, while the area of support is restricted by putting the feet close together. The modified heel to toe positions were designed in order to restrict further and gradually the width of the support area; thus, we were able to increase the sensitivity of the ataxiametric method within the range of normal and borderline populations.
