Venous translucence
Unterberger test is a medical procedure used to help diagnose issues related to balance and coordination. It is also known as the Unterberger's stepping test or Fukuda stepping test. This test is often used in the field of neurology to identify the presence of vestibular system dysfunction.
Procedure[edit | edit source]
The Unterberger test is performed by having the patient march in place with their eyes closed for about 30 seconds. If the patient rotates to one side, it may indicate a lesion on the vestibular apparatus on the same side.
Uses[edit | edit source]
The Unterberger test is primarily used to identify peripheral vestibular disorders. It can also be used to differentiate between peripheral and central causes of vertigo.
Limitations[edit | edit source]
While the Unterberger test is useful in diagnosing vestibular disorders, it is not a definitive test. It is often used in conjunction with other tests and clinical findings to make a diagnosis.
