Abstract

Twenty five healthy infants were followed from the newborn period to the age of eighteen months, by evaluation of their neuromotor performance. Evaluation of the specific postural reaction patterns (as described by Vojta) did not seem to be any use as a "short-cut" for the early diagnosis of neuromotor abnormalities, a considerable number of deviations from the normal/optimal pattern being noted even in completely normal infants.

Key words

Infant neuromotor disturbance - Vojta's "Lagereflexe" - postural reactions
