N2 - Aim The aim of this study was to assess the onset of forward parachute reaction (FPR) in infants with brain lesions and its correlation with age of walking. Method FPR was assessed at 6, 9, and 12months in 140 infants with brain lesions (78 males, 62 females; mean gestational age 31wks; SD 3.6wks; mean birthweight 1450g, SD 252g). On cranial ultrasound 62 infants had mild and 78 had major abnormalities; 86 developed cerebral palsy. All were followed for 5years, and the age at which each child achieved independent walking was recorded. Infants who had been born small for gestational age (weight
