Abstract

Introduction: This work presents two diagnostic methods which were used to examine 57 children during their first three months of life.

Material and methods: By classifying abnormalities of central nervous coordination we compared seven postural reactions according to Vojta with spontaneous behaviour of the child according to Munich Functional Development Diagnostics.

Conclusions: It was demonstrated that both methods for the detection of early lesions in the central nervous system are sensitive. Good coherence of the results suggests that both methods may be used interchangeably.
