Introduction: Several studies on the behavior of infants in different postures. However, few have investigated the lateral position, a posture that is often used in physical therapy early stimulation, and also the effects of adding weight to segments. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of the infant in lateral recumbency, with and without added weight. Materials and Methods: We studied 6 healthy infants evaluated according to the Alberta Infant Motor Scale, and then placed on a gurney for filming of the conduct in 3 phases: I (pre-weight), II (excess weight = 20% of the mass of the upper limb) and III (post-weight), lasting two minutes each.
