Introduction:

Zika virus is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, but it can also occur through an intrauterine infection before delivery, and the virus passes to the fetus.

Objective:

describe the level of impairment in performance skills and maturation age of brave boys and girls of the future program with neonatal Zika virus infection.

Materials and Methods:

Research is framed with a quantitative correlational approach supported by field research and non-experimental design, with a sample of 15 infants aged 3, 4 and 5 years. The data collection technique used was the Abbreviated Scale.

Results:

Regarding the areas evaluated with respect to maturational age, it was found that the weighting of motor skills and praxis found a correlation coefficient of 0.601 (moderate) and in the sample of performance skills of 3-year- old children. With gestational zika, a correlation of 0.853 (strong) was obtained.

Discussion:

Zika virus infection in boys and girls, acquired during pregnancy, strongly limits the execution skills typical of maturational age in this population.

Conclusions:

there is a correlation between infants with gestational zika and strong involvement in the actions or behaviors that a patient has in moving and physically interacting with activities, objects and thus performing a learned motor activity.
