There are planing to have 2 groups of premature born cases. Each group will include 15 cases. Participants are need to be 28-37 weeks born and no older than post term 6 weeks. All cases are going to be evaluated. Home based exercise plan is going to be explained. The experimental group is going to take 6 osteopathic sessions weekly. After 6 weeks cases are going to be evaluated again.

Test of Infant Motor Performance
The test is a motor outcome measure designed to assess posture and selective control of movement in infants for functional performance in daily life. The test consists of 31 items in standard format, 28 of which are made by observing spontaneous activities and scoring them as pass or fail. Getting higher points means better motor control.
Assessment of General Movements
This is a diagnostic tool for the functional assessment of the young nervous system. General Movements is a diagnostic tool based on visual gestalt perception of videoed agespecific normal or abnormal general movements. Motor Optimality Scores \< = 23 at 14-16 weeks of corrected age are predictive of motor, cognitive, and neurosensory motor impairment, and scores \<=15 are predictive of CP.
The Infant Colic Scale
This Scale was developed to help diagnose colic. The scale has a total of 22 items in 5 subscales. Cow's milk/soy protein allergy/intolerance, immature gastrointestinal system, immature central nervous system, difficult baby temperament, parent-baby interaction-problem baby. Infant colic scale items are evaluated over 6 points. Likert-type scale is used. Low score is an indicator of colic
