Abstract
Five children aged between 10-13 yr are described whose disorders of motor function had a non-organic (hysterical) cause. In most cases extensive investigations had been made to establish an organic cause before the hysterical basis was diagnosed. The 3 essentials of management of such cases are to limit further investigations to the essential minimum, to institute quickly a program of graduated physical rehabilitation, and to establish and treat the underlying psychological problems.
