Abstract
Neurological examination of the newborn infant is described, based on the evaluation of passive tone, active tone, and primary reflexes. Gestational age may be assessed at birth, enabling short gestation infants to be distinguished from those that are small-for-dates.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
