Reflex Testing Methods for Evaluating C. N. S. Development (American lecture series, publication no. 865. A monograph in American lectures in orthopaedic surgery)

By Mary R. Fiorentino, Newington Children’s Hospital, Newington, Connecticut. With a Foreword by Burr H. Curtis. This book is useful in the initial and periodic examination of all infants and children through six years of age. It can be used in the diagnosis and evaluation of such patients where abnormal reflexive reactions are suspected. The assessment of other patients who might need neurophysiologically oriented treatment is included. A basis for physiatrists which encompasses the diagnosis and program planning for rehabilitation is given. A section is provided for determining the maturation level and abnormal reflexes for a treatment program.
