Abstract

The diagnostic efficiency of KTK was examined by evaluation of catamneses of children who mostly during their first year of life underwent neurosurgical treatment for subdural effusions. In addition, the influence of intelligence, side of hemispheric lesion, equivocal neurological signs and physical impairment, body height and weight as well as foot preference on the performance of motor tasks was examined. The results suggest sufficient practical advantages of KTK for the detection of brain damage in children.
