Modified versions of the Romberg test.
• Sharpened Romberg Test (SRT) -This test procedure differs from the traditional Romberg Test in the positioning of the feet. Instead of standing with feet shoulder-width apart, the sharpened Romberg test dictates that the feet of the patient
•Single-legged Stance Test (SLST) - is mainly used to assess postural stability and control in the elderly and those with Parkinson's disease.
◦ Static balance test serves as a balanced assessment of Parkinson's disease. The process entails assessing how long the patient can maintain a single-leg stance with eyes open. The test ends after 60 seconds, and each leg is tested three times.
• Sitting-rising Test (SRT)- is an easily administered test focused on the assessment of the elderly population as well as stroke victims as a tool to predict mortality risk.
• Get-Up and Go Test - assessment of frailty and predictor of a geriatric patient's ability to go outside alone safely.

Raynauds phenomenon.
It is a condition that affects the blood flow to certain parts of the body, usually the fingers and toes, when exposed to cold or stress. It causes episodes of color changes, numbness, pain or tingling in the affected areas.
There are two types of Raynaud’s phenomenon: primary and secondary. Primary Raynaud’s is the most common and mild form and it is not caused by any underlying disease. Secondary Raynaud’s is less common and more severe and it is associated with other medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, vascular diseases or injuries.
The treatment depends on the type, severity and frequency of the symptoms, as well as the presence of any complications or other health problems. The main goals of treatment are to prevent or reduce the attacks, improve blood circulation and prevent tissue damage or infection.

Tinea Faciei (Facial Ringworm)
• Fungal infection of the superficial skin of the face.
• All age groups are affected, but peaks occur in children between the ages of 2 and 14 years as well as adults between 20 and 40.
• It may be spread by direct contact with infected people, infected animals (eg, pets), contaminated objects (eg, towels or locker room floors), or the soil.
• The most common anthropophilic (humans are the primary host) species are Trichophyton tonsurans and T. rubrum.
• The most common causative zoophilic agents worldwide are T. mentagrophytes (rodents, rabbits, dogs, and horses), Trichophyton verrucosum (cattle), and Microsporum canis (cats and dogs).
