title: A study of the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the management of young children with minimal cerebral dysfunction.
abstract: Minimal cerebral dysfunction (MCD) is one of many terms used to describe the syndrome exhibited by children who demonstrate mild abnormalities on clinical neurological assessment. The neurological signs of minimal cerebral dysfunction are manifested in the nature of the reflex and automatic sensory responses as well as in the motor responses to specific stimulations. Those reactions which persist beyond the normal age for their integration, together with other mild signs of neurological dysfunction are also symptomatic of minimal cerebral dysfunction.
