A systematic review of scientific articles that applied motor development tests was carried out between 2014-2018. The search for articles was carried out in the "Ebsco", "Dialnet" and "Scielo" databases. The keywords in the search were; motor development and motor development test, in the Spanish, English and Portuguese languages. Nine articles were obtained that met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that four motor development tests have been used in the declared period. In conclusion, the most used test in Chile is TGMD-2 which is widely recommended and validated in the Chilean context; and whose purpose is based on the identification of the performance levels (lower or higher) of gross motor development in children according to chronological age.
