[Experience with the dyspraxia test (according to Lesny)].

The dyspraxia test developed by LESNY was applied in a random test in 279 six-year-old risk and control children fit for infants class. All children showing failures with respect to dyspraxia requirements have on average higher pregnancy and birth risks, have on an average more symptoms of the cerebral-psychic axis syndrome, produce pathological findings more frequently in the usual method of somatic brain stem diagnostics and are regularly below the level of the control group with respect to the various performance, concentration, and behaviour parameters. Mild dyspraxia is characterised by elementary functional weakness which is etiologically caused by a brain injury and psychopathologically exerts a general development-inhibiting effect.
