Abstrakt		According to the Register of Newborns at risk data, prematurityu is, next to hypoxia, convulsions and abnormal neurological signs, one of the most frequently reported risk factors for cerebral palsy development. High risk for the development of cerebral palsy dictates a need for very careful follow-up of premature infants and early diagnosis of developmental problems. Appropriate measurements are required already in the maternity hospital. A careful follow-up is aslo necessary after dismissal from hospital. In the past decade, the evaluation of spontaneous general movement has become a highly valued diagnostic tool for establishing and following up the very early signs of abnormal development. Furthermore, it is a non-invasive method and a good prognostic tool. Early recognition of abnormal development is the foundation of early neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT). The main principle of NDT is to make the best use of brain plasticity through the influence of normal sensory and motor experiences on the brain function. This is the way to reduce pathological patterns, and stimulate the development of better mechanisms of posture and movement. As long as risk or pathological signs are present, a continuous therapy and follow-up are necessary. In the case of a more extensive brain damage one of the forms of cerebral palsy, most frequently spastic dyplegia, develops. This requires a long-term approach and support in integration into the social environment.
