Abstract
Introduction: Interventions are beneficial to fundamental aspects such as anthropometric development and neurological maturation. The objective of this study was to develop a protocol of somatic and kinesthetic stimulation, aimed at preterm infants, in order to be applied by parents during their clinical stay. Method: A comprehensive search was performed including relevant articles between January 2007 and December 2016, using the following electronic databases: Medline, Science Direct, Cuiden, Scielo, Google Académico, Biblioteca Virtual de Salud y Cochrane Plus. Results: Various anthropometric factors. Some studies also demonstrated improvement in neuromor development and reduction of hospital stay. After the review, a protocol of masotherapy and kinesitherapy, of fifteen minutes duration, was selected to be applied by the parents of preterm infants during their clinical phase. Conclusions: The literature consulted has shown how the application of masotherapy and kinesitherapy in preterm infants, reduces hospitalization days, improves the gain of anthropometric parameters and favors neuromotor development. A triptych has been developed, including a protocol for masotherapy and kinesitherapy, aimed at the parents of hospitalized preterm infants.
