Question

question 34
which of the following diagnostic procedures evaluates balance and equilibrium?
a audiometry
b rinne and weber tuning - fork test
c otoscopy
d falling test

Explanation:

• Audiometry measures hearing acuity.
• Rinne and Weber tuning - fork tests assess hearing (bone - conduction vs air - conduction).
• Otoscopy examines the external ear and tympanic membrane.
• Falling test (e.g., Romberg test) evaluates balance and equilibrium by observing a patient's ability to maintain stance with eyes open and closed.

Answer:

D. falling test
