title: [Interaction of general body posture, oral and facial region. I. Literature and clinical findings (author's transl)].
abstract: Postural control of head and trunk is basic for adequate posture and movement of eyes, facial, oropharyngeal and limb muscles. On the other hand there are also influences of ocular and oro-pharyngeal movements on posture and movements of neck, trunk and limbs. After a review of experimental and clinical observations several pertinent own observations are presented. The advantage of the systematic use of these phenomena for habilitation and rehabilitation of patients with motor handicaps is stressed.
