Acta Paediatr Scand, 69: 283, 1980.—The proposal by V. Vojta in 1974 to prevent development of cerebral palsy in ‘motor risk’ infants by special treatment has been investigated in 11 Danish and 10 Swedish babies and compared with 30 control infants with a similar risk, who were not given Vojta treatment. We found a tendency for ‘uncomplicated’ cerebral palsy cases to accumulate in the control group, although the difference was non‐significant on a 5% level. Further con‐trolled studies must be completed before it is possible to accept the prophylactive treatment of cerebral palsy recommended by Vojta.
