Correlating the psychomotor factors with the profile, it was observed that, with the exception of tonicity, all other six factors (balance, laterality, body notion, spatio-temporal structuring, global and fine praxis) obtained values ​​with the prevalence of scores 1 and 2, defining a psychomotor deficit due to low weight.
