His method is described in this book.GMs form part of a distinct pattern of movements in preterm babies, term newborns and young infants. They are complex, frequent, and usually of sufficient length. Changes in the normal quality of GMs are a reliable indicator of brain dysfunction. 606 $aPremature infants$xDiseases$xDiagnosis 606 $aInfants$xDiseases$xDiagnosis 606 $aNeurologic examination 615 0$aPremature infants$xDiseases$xDiagnosis. 615 0$aInfants$xDiseases$xDiagnosis. 615 0$aNeurologic examination. 676 $a618.92836075 701 $aEinspieler$b Christa$01793693 701 $aPrechtl$b Heinz F.
