development in infants with muscle hypertonia.
The following objectives were put forward: the assessment of specific features of the

Psychomotoric development of the infants' and the effectiveness of the correctional
program were evaluated according to the Munich functional development diagnostic scale. Seven
psychometric functions of the infants were being evaluated.
