Resumo: To investigate the effects of early visual stimulation on the development of tonus and posture control and of grating visual acuity of preterm infants, eight infants received visual stimulation that induced head motion during the first 6 months of life in weekly sessions. Their performance was compared with that of unstimulated preterm infants of same age (n = 6). Both groups were evaluated in the developmental scale of Gesell and had their grating visual acuity measured by swept visually evoked potentials (sweep-VEP). Visuomotor performance and adoption and maintenance of postures were significantly better for the stimulated group (p < .05) compared to the unstimulated group. There was no statistical difference between the two groups for the development of visual acuity. Visuo-motor and postural development improved with the early visuo-motor stimulation program. The lack of influence of this program in the development of visual acuity may be attributed to differences in the pathways involved in the processing of visual acuity of patterns and in the responses elicited by visuo-motor stimulation.
