ROMBERG’S TEST

The Romberg sign is an easily administered, no-equipment, bedside physical exam maneuver used since its description in the 19th century to help diagnose tabes dorsalis and dorsal column and proprioceptive dysfunction.
A positive test is an inability to maintain an erect posture over 60 seconds with eyes closed. Due to its high specificity, a positive Romberg sign is highly suggestive of diagnosing a deficit involving the dorsal column and medial lemniscus pathways.
The test involves standing with your feet together and your arms at your side or crossed in front of you. Part of the test is with your eyes open, and the second part is with your eyes closed. Your healthcare provider observes you during the test and notes any signs of imbalance, such as swaying.

It'd be hard to balance with that thing hovering over his face. But seriously: it's more humane to obscure the patient's face, unlike one sees in other videos on YT. I'm sure the patient is thankful.
