[Minimal static-motor deficit in preschoolers (clinical electroneuromyographic research)]

The authors conducted a neurologic, electromyographic and electroneuromyographic investigation in 64 preschool children in a children's home. Subtle static-motor deficit was detected in 79.7% of the children. Major clinico-electroneuromyographic differences were found in 5- vs 6-year old children that were regarded as a functional shift reflecting both the new practical skills formation and a temporary imbalance in motor functional mechanisms at all integration levels.
