title: [Vertical "X" sign test (author's transl)].
abstract: Fukuda's blindfold vertical writing test was modified in a vertical drawing test which consisted of five vertical series of "X" sings. The lists of signs of 150 healthy persons were compared to the findings of 111 patients. Persons with peripheral or central vestibular lesions had marked deviations in about 70% beyond the standard deviation of normals. The test is recommended for routine explorations. The procedure and the evaluation are easy and can be used for the objective identification of vestibulospinal deviation.
