Hi thanks for lecture. I think Romberg test is not normal in cerebellar ataxia. actually it is positive even with eyes open. the sensory ataxia only causes Romberg test to be positive when patient eyes are closed

No worries, thanks for the comment. Yes, things are always more complex in reality, but I have presented this in a way to keep it simple and useful for exam purposes. Yes, the patient may fall (Romberg positive) even with eyes open if the cerebellar ataxia is bad enough, but this is very rare. In general, Romberg positive indicates a sensory ataxia and this is how it should be conceptualized. Matt.
