Abstract

Cutaneomuscular reflexes were recorded from the first dorsal interosseous muscles of 21 children with spastic cerebral palsy. The reflex responses in children with cerebral palsy were consistent with dysfunction of the pyramidal system, but differed from those seen in adults with central nervous lesions. This provides further evidence that the effect of a central nervous lesion on the reflex control of movement is dependent on whether it occurs in early or adult life.
