About this trial
The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of preterm gestational age, birth weight and perinatal risks factors on gross motor development of preterm infants.
We will compare the data of infants evaluated by the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Perinatal Risk Inventory (PERI) in an Infant Development and Early Intervention Center (IDEIC).

Perinatal Risk Inventory (PERI)
The PERI is a test designed to assess neonatal situation, prior to infants' discharge from the hospital at birth that determines the possibility of abnormalities or pathologies in the infant' development at very early stages. Its predictive value is greater when it reaches a score equal or superior to 10. The infants will be assessed by the PERI test accounting using their discharge medical records.

Day 12
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)
The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is an observational scale to assess infants' gross motor development from birth to independent walking. The test consists of 58 items based on descriptions of the postural control in supine (9 items), prone (21 items), sitting (12 items) and standing (16 items) position. Each item scores one point, therefore the maximum puntuation possible is 58 points and the minimum 0 points. The greater the puntuation, the better is their motor development. It is conceived for infants from 0 to 18 months old. The test provides information about the infant's motor activities and allows the measurement of motor activity development over time or before and after therapy. The infants' assessment needs to take place in a quiet environment with minimal handling and without stimuli or random help. An assessment of the infants' gross motor development will be carried out at admission, following the AIMS scale and bearing in mind their corrected age.
