Balance...?

are we supposed to be able to maintain our balance whilst standing upright with the ankles together and eyes closed? i remember reading something somewhere on the topic but iv 4gotten where.. i believe its a test of some sort that physicians use, but dunno what they use it for


any help would be great|||Romberg test....and it is to test for balance, more specifically the workings of your middle ear and signal interpetation by your brain (cerebellum)|||Well I can do it. It is slightly harder to maintain balance like this but i guess the question is in age and what amount of balance you have. I'm still in highschool so it is easier for me to do than it is an older person. sorry though i have no idea about it being some sort of test.
