Prior to balance testing, participants complete a questionnaire regarding a history of
dizziness and falls in the past 12 months. Balance testing consists of the modified Romberg
Test of Standing Balance on Firm and Compliant Support Surfaces. This test examines the
participant’s ability to stand unassisted under four test conditions that are designed to
specifically test the sensory inputs that contribute to balance— the vestibular system, vision,
and proprioception (Table 1; 7)
