The article summarizes the most important results of research where by means of polyelectromy- ography individual variable motor reactions to stimulation of Vojta pressure points were expressed objectively. These reactions were partly associated with certain changes in the state of conscious- ness. Polyelectromyographic studies revealed that the temporal sequence of activation of muscles is not always the same but that the motor manifestations follow always the same objective. The authors indicate possible future trends of research of the problem.
