INTRODUCTION: Sensory motor stimulation (SMS) is an early intervention used in newborns (NB) to organize their systems. The physiotherapist who uses SMS must pay careful attention to the signs presented by NB after the procedures. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the perception of physiotherapists about changes in the autonomic system and behavioral state of NB after SMS procedures. METHODS: Cross-sectional study performed with physiotherapists working in neonatal units. Data were collected by electronic questionnaire, processed in the SPSS program (version 21.0) and presented in absolute (n) and relative (%) frequency. RESULTS: 72 physiotherapists participated in this study, 48.6% had a specialist degree, 63.9% worked in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, 38.8% lived in the southern region and 38.8% in the southeastern region of Brazil. The perception of most physiotherapists after tactile procedures was stability or decrease in heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR), and stability of oxygen saturation (SpO2), and after vestibular procedures it was stability of HR, RR and SpO2. There was a perception of active sleep, drowsiness, and active alertness after all tactile and vestibular procedures. Active alertness was noticed after all procedures and intense crying was not noticed. CONCLUSION: Regarding the autonomic system, most physiotherapists noticed stable or decreased HR and RR, and stable or increased SpO2 after SMS procedures. Regarding the behavioral state, active alert was noticed more frequently among physiotherapists.
