@entity74 in 535 @entity1 with infantile @entity1158 were evaluated; 159 of the cases were particularly well documented. The right/left distribution of the @entity1158 was 56 to 44, the ratio of @entity1 to @entity1 59 to 41. Severe impairments of hand function (lack of function, first grip) were found more frequently in right hemiplegics than left; the ratio of severe to slight disorders was approx. 3 to 1 in right hemiplegics and 3 to 2 in left hemiplegics. Impairment of hand function was closely related to the quality of sensitivity, the tests of this being based on two-point discrimination and stereognosis. Sixty-two percent of the @entity1 were of normal intelligence; of the remainder, approximately equal-sized groups suffered from @entity4207 or were @entity1032 . There was a positive correlation between reduced intelligence and the severity of @entity73 . Impaired speech development was found in 7 percent of the @entity1 , right and left hemiplegics being equally affected. Thus, there was no evidence that the @entity75 had any special influence on development of speech. Observations of growth in the legs revealed average differences of length of 2 mm and up to 3.5 cm in isolated cases. After eight year of life there was practically no further increase in the differences in length.
