A positive result in the Romberg test indicates that the patient is unable to maintain balance when their eyes are closed. In such cases, the condition is commonly attributed to either a deficiency in proprioceptive sensitivity or dysfunction in the vestibular system. However, in instances where the swings occur in all directions, the condition could suggest a deficit in proprioception. Conversely, if the patient consistently sways towards a particular direction, it indicates an imbalance related to the affected side in the vestibular system. Based on the outcome, the otolaryngologist evaluates whether further investigations are necessary to determine the appropriate treatment.
