Watch this short video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/stationtest) to see a test for station. Station refers to theposition a person adopts when they are standing still. Theexaminer would look for issues with balance, whichcoordinates proprioceptive, vestibular, and visualinformation in the cerebellum. To test the ability of asubject to maintain balance, asking them to stand or hopon one foot can be more demanding. The examiner mayalso push the subject to see if they can maintain balance.An abnormal finding in the test of station is if the feetare placed far apart. Why would a wide stance suggestproblems with cerebellar function?
