  Using galactic rotation curves, we test a -quantum motivated- gravity model
that at large distances modifies the Newtonian potential when spherical
symmetry is considered. In this model one adds a Rindler acceleration term to
the rotation curves of disk galaxies. Here we consider a standard and a
power-law generalization of the Rindler modified Newtonian potential that are
hypothesized to play the role of dark matter in galaxies. The new, universal
acceleration has to be -phenomenologically- determined. Our galactic model
includes the mass of the integrated gas and stars for which we consider a free
mass model. We test the model by fitting rotation curves of thirty galaxies
that has been employed to test other alternative gravity models. We find that
the Rindler parameters do not perform a suitable fit to the rotation curves in
comparison to the Burkert dark matter profile, but the models achieve a similar
fit as the NFW's profile does. However, the computed parameters of the Rindler
gravity show some spread, posing the model to be unable to consistently explain
the observed rotation curves.
