Introduction: Premature infants present a high risk of developing neuropsychomotor delays. The AIMS and Denver scales, compared in this study, identify these delays. Objective: To evaluate which scale is most effective in detecting delay in the neuropsychomotor development of preterm infants. Methodology: The study has a sample of five infants of both sexes based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and was done in preterm infants aged between three and twelve months during the period of up to 10 months of care. The applied intervention was given through the analysis of the AIMS and Denver scales. Results: The results of the AIMS scale, presented as a percentage, showed: Infant 6.8% before therapy and 15.5% after therapy; Infant B 10.3% before therapy and 62.0% after therapy; Infant C 13.8% before therapy and 86.2% after therapy; Infant D 10.3% before therapy and 70.7% after therapy; Infant and 27.6% before therapy and 100% after therapy. With Denver II, the results of chronological age showed improvement in the gross motor item only of infants B, in the language only item of E, and in the personal - social item of infants A, C and E. Infant D did not present any evolution area after treatment. Conclusion: In this study, AIMS was more effective in detecting delays and in monitoring the neuropsychomotor development of prematurity. However, more studies are needed to identify the most effective evaluation instrument to be applied to the Brazilian child population and to make physiotherapeutic intervention more effective.
