The acquisition and development of locomotor skills with respect to the development of the myotatic reflex require further study in both healthy and neurologically impaired children. In this article, the well-documented properties of the healthy adult's myotatic reflex are compared with recent findings of the myotatic reflex in healthy infants and children and contrasted with reflex properties in patients with cerebral palsy. These data allow us to begin to characterize the emerging features of the stretch reflex in normal and pathological early development. From these data, we can begin to speculate about the relationship between changes in stretch reflexes and the acquisition of skillful movement and gait in early childhood.

Of 14 patients studied prospectively for 1 to 44 months, 11 showed improvement in motor function. A double-blind test of 10 patients off and on stimulation for an average 8-week period showed no significant changes. Thus, we have no proof that the functional improvements seen with long-term stimulation are the result of cerebellar stimulation.
