A comparative cranio-corpography study on the findings in the Romberg standing test versus the Unterberger/Fukuda stepping test in vertigo patients.
Cranio-corpography (CCG) stepping and standing tests are compared in a group of 202 neurotological patients. In these two vestibulo-spinal tests, performed by a simple and precise photo-optic system, the movement of the shoulders and the head--and not the movement of the feet, is taken as the parameter for the investigation. The two tests are complementary one to the other. The CCG should be an integral part of every neurotological laboratory.
