— In a double‐blind cross‐over study, the influence of propranolol on postural stability was investigated in 7 normals. The postural stability was measured by a computer‐assisted quantitative Romberg test. A dose of 10 mg propranolol administered intravenously resulted in an impaired postural stability, with a delay of about half an hour. This delay could be responsible for the missing correlation between the sway and plasma‐propranolol.
