[Sensorimotor training in children with motor retardation]

Sensory motor training is often prescribed for children with a delayed motor development. This training is preceded by a determination of their motory level by a test. The Oseretsky test is the one we mostly use for this purpose. If the test is performed before and after the training, the effect of the training can be evaluated. In theory, sensomotory development is often looked upon as a foundation for further development, especially for the cognitive development. The effect of this training is not the same for all children; 54% of the children, who have been trained by us, scored a motory profit on ony year or more.
