PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diagnostic apparatus for the neonate and the infant capable of determining absence/presence of neurological abnormality and/or muscular disease of the neonate and the infant in a simple constitution. SOLUTION: This diagnostic apparatus comprises a plurality of weight detection sensors 3 detecting the weight of the infant to be examined 2 in spine position and/or prone position, data calculation means 5 calculating data related to the weight using the weight value detected by the weight detecting sensors 3 for every second, determination means 6 responding to the output of the data calculation means 5 and determining whether or not there is abnormality in the infant 2 based on the data, and display means 7 responding to the output of the determination means 6 and displaying the presence/absence of the abnormality of the subject infant 2. The determination means 6 determines the presence/absence of the abnormality of the infant 2 by comparing, for example, a gravitational center moving area of the subject infant 2 calculated by the data calculation means 5 with a predetermined discrimination level.
