Resumen El proposito de este articulo consiste en analizar el progreso en el desarrollo mental y motor de una muestra de ninos prematuros durante sus primeros 18 meses de vida, asi como la calidad de la vinculacion afectiva que estos establecen con sus cuidadores principales a la edad de 15 meses, teniendo en cuenta el tipo de tecnica fisioterapeutica al que eran sometidos (intervencion fisioterapeutica Vojta frente a otras intervenciones). Tanto los ninos como sus familias eran atendidos en Centros de Desarrollo Infantil y Atencion Temprana (CDIAT) de la Comunidad Autonoma de la Region de Murcia (CARM) desde el primer trimestre de vida. Los resultados revelan un progreso mental y motor significativamente mayor en las poblaciones infantiles que eran sometidas a la tecnica Vojta, y la no existencia de diferencias en la seguridad del apego en ambas poblaciones. Abstract The aim of the present paper was to analyze whether a difference exists in the progress of mental and motor development and the quality of attachment in a sample of preterm infants when receiving the Vojta’s physiotherapy technique vs. other therapy techniques. The ages for assessing the mental and motor development were first trimester, 6, 12 and 18 months and for assessing the quality of attachment were 15 months. Their families were attended at different Centres for Infant Development and Early Intervention (CDIAT) from the Region of Murcia since the early months of infants` life. The results revealed that the mental and motor development of infants receiving the Vojta therapy was significantly better, but there was no difference between the two samples in the attachment security
