Posture tests performed were Romberg's, Mann's and goniometer (Honjo's electrically driven goniometer) test.Fifty-four patients with vertigo were examined and their ARG patterns were divided into 6 types (Fig. 21) in compasion with those of healthy control subjects.Type I: ARG patterns during Romberg's, Mann's and goniometer tests were within normal limits in both open and closed eyes.Type II: ARG during Mann's and goniometer tests showed abnormality in only closed eyes.Type III: ARG in all posture tests except Romberg's test showed abnormal pattern in both open and closed eyes. Type IV: ARG in all posture tests revealed abnormal body sways.Type V : ARG in all posture tests showed abnormal peculier spiky waves.Type VI: ARG in goniometer test showed abnormal pattern in both open and closed eyes, although ARG in Mann's test showed nothing particular.
