Popis: Objective: The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of additional weight in the proximal and distal adjustments of the reaching behavior of full-term and preterm infants. Method: We evaluated 10 full-term and 9 low risk preterm infants from 5 to 7 months age. The following variables were analyzed: a) proximal adjustments: unimanual or bimanual; b) distal adjustments: hand opening (open, closed, semi-open) and hand orientation (horizontal, vertical, oblique). Variables were analyzed in two procedures: P1 (baseline) and P2 (addition of 20% of the total mass of the infant’s upper limb). To verify the association between procedures and dependent variables was applied Chi-Square Test (p
