Fue propuesto por el alemán Mortiz Heinrich Romberg en 1851, al describir la pérdida del control postural que experimentaban los pacientes con tabes dorsal después de cerrar los ojos o en la oscuridad. En la literatura se reporta diferentes descripciones del signo de Romberg, y actualmente no existe un consenso. En las primeras descripciones, dicho signo fue relacionado con el daño a la vía propioceptiva. Asimismo, no solo se emplea en la neurología sino también en otras áreas médicas, por lo que resulta de gran utilidad.]]></p></abstract>
