The Neurological Examination of the Full Term Newborn Infant

Abstract

This monograph is one of the excellent series of "Little Club Clinics" published as an extension of the journal, Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology. It outlines in detail, test item by test item, the method for examination of the nervous system of full-term newborn infants of Dr. Prechtl, who is one of the world's leading authorities on this. The method has been tested on some 1,500 babies, most of whom had abnormal obstetrical histories, and little exception would be taken to any of it by those most experienced in neonatal neurology in this country.
