To reach the age of the term, was applied Scales Amiel-Barrier-Shnider changed and the Prechtl, traditionally used in the evaluation of term newborns, looking for possible changes to the term, while also evaluating the sensitivity of these scales. We studied 20 non-complicated preterm infants, both sexes aged 32-36 weeks, born in Janu?rio Cicco Maternity School, from August 2006 to August 2007. Was applied to the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies every two weeks until reach the term, and the range of Amiel-Barrier-Shnider changed and the Prechtl, after reaching 39 and 41 weeks. The evaluation result of articular angles was subjected to the test of Friedman ANOVA, significant differences between the three measurements of the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies only for angles heel-to-ear to term. Neonatal reflexes changed in the period of prematurity were the cardinal points reflexes, Moro reflexes, cross extensions reflex and the automatic walking reflexes. The posture was the parameter which remained unchanged in the three scales. Considering a significance level of 5% by applying Cochran Q Test, it was found that the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies is more sensitive to detect suspects. With this methodology and the results it was possible to prepare a manuscript: The neurological examination of non-complicated preterm newborns using the Sanit-Anne Dargssies Scale from birth to term: normal or altered? In which we describe that despite the good clinical condition, the RNP show changes in tone and neonatal reflexes. These data are important because though non-complicated RNP need further attention its maturation process, enabling us to detect and intervene early. With these results we can build a scale simplified neurological assessment made with items found most altered during the application of three scales. The development of this project has a multidisciplinary approach, because it involved Paediatric Neurologist, Physiotherapist and Neonatologist, as recommended by PPGCSA / Esse estudo comparou a evolu??o da postura, reflexos neonatais e t?nus nos prematuros sem complica??es cl?nicas ou neurol?gicas antes e ap?s a idade de termo utilizando a escala de Saint-Anne Dargassies. Ao atingir a idade de termo, foi aplicado as Escalas de Amiel-Barrier-Shnider modificada e a de Prechtl, tradicionalmente utilizadas na avalia??o do RN de termo, a procura de poss?veis altera??es ao termo e ao mesmo tempo avaliando tamb?m a sensibilidade dessas escalas aplicadas. Foram estudados 20 prematuros n?o complicados, ambos os sexos com idade gestacional variando de 32 a 36 semanas, nascidos na Maternidade Escola Janu?rio Cicco, no per?odo de agosto de 2006 a agosto de 2007. Foi aplicada a escala de Saint-Anne Dargassies a cada 2 semanas at? atingir o termo, e a escala de Amiel-Barrier-Shnider modificada e a de Prechtl, ap?s atingirem 39 e 41 semanas. O resultado da avalia??o dos ?ngulos articulares foi submetido ao teste de Friedman ANOVA, observando-se diferen?as significativas entre as 3 medi??es da escala de Saint-Anne Dargassies, apenas para os ?ngulos calcanhar-orelha at? o termo. Os reflexos neonatais alterados no per?odo de prematuridade foram os dos pontos cardinais, reflexo de Moro, reflexo de alargamento cruzado e o de marcha autom?tica. A postura foi o par?metro que se manteve sem altera??es nas 3 escalas. Considerando um n?vel de signific?ncia de 5% ao aplicar o Cochran Q Test, constatou-se que a escala da Saint-Anne Dargassies ? mais sens?vel para detectar indiv?duos suspeitos. Com esta metodologia e com os resultados obtidos foi poss?vel elaborarmos um manuscrito: The neurological examination of non-complicated preterm newborns using the Sanit-Anne Dargssies Scale from birth to term: normal or altered? No qual descrevemos que, apesar da boa condi??o cl?nica, os RNP apresentam altera??es de t?nus e reflexos neonatais. Esses dados s?o importantes porque apesar de RNP n?o complicados necessitam de uma maior aten??o em todo seu processo maturacional, o que nos permitiria detectar e fazer uma interven??o precoce. Com os resultados obtidos conseguimos construir uma escala simplificada de avalia??o neurol?gica constitu?da com os itens mais alterados encontrados durante a aplica??o das 3 escalas. O desenvolvimento deste projeto tem um enfoque multidisciplinar, pois envolveu Neurologista Pediatra, Fisioterapeuta e Neonatologista, como preconizado pela PPGCSA
