| Findings on the standard Romberg's test were normal, but the patient experienced a marked amount of difficulty performing the sharpened tandem Romberg's test with the left foot forward and somewhat less difficulty with the right foot forward. Interestingly, even Osier gave an excellent clinical description of the clinical features of tabes and Romberg's test in the first edition of his textbook, The Principles and Practice of Medicine (6).
