Q: Is there a quick test to detemine if a person is at a high risk for a fall?

A: Yes. There are several. One simple test is the Romberg Stand. One should be able to stand with their eyes closes for 60 seconds without taking a step or reaching for support. If this test is abnormal, physical therapy can help ones balance. Call Eberle's Physical Therapy, Inc.for a free balance screen.
