"Hmmm, seems more like a math test than a neuro test..."

The Romberg Test is a neurologic exam maneuver named after a parallelogram with equal sides.[1] Have the patient stand erect with eyes closed and arms to sides. The Romberg Test is positive if the patient falls over while you’re in another room typing notes.
