%X Twenty young male volunteers carried out a drinking experiment during which they underwent the Romberg standing test and the Unterberger treading test. These tests were carried out three times each in a sober state, 25 minutes and 2 hours after alcohol consumption. The balance tests were recorded, evaluated and documented by means of a Cranio-Corpo-Graphy. The Romberg standing test proved to be the more sensitive indicator of impaired balance, even when only slightly under the influence of alcohol. Both the degree of anterior-posterior and of lateral swaying increased according to the BAC and decreased after the end of absorption. Only lateral swaying was similarly recorded with the Unterberger test.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
