In a group of 55 children with signs of central nervous system lesions the development of righting reflexes and static functions was observed during the first 3 years of life. A delay and disturbances in the development of righting reflexes and static functions was observed with differences between the individual groups of infantile cerebral palsy.

The development of postural reflexes and static functions were analysed in children with different forms of central nervous system damage developing in the first three years of life. A correlation was found between the persistence of tonic reflexes and disturbances of development of static functions and this finding may be used in differential diagnosis of early central nervous system lesions and in selection of appropriate treatment.
