Motor Assessment of the Developing Infant:
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)
DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/0323760570 Motor Assessment of the
Developing Infant, 2nd Edition presents theories of infant motor development and discusses the
unique challenges involved in assessing the motor skills of developing infants as compared to that
of adults. It provides step-by-step instructions for using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)
&#8213a scale that measures infant gross motor skills. It also features a review of two current
theories of motor development, line drawings and photographs of 58 gross motor skills, and a
percentile graph to plot an infant&#8217sscore and derive an estimate of his or her percentile
ranking. Clinicians, researchers, and parents/caregivers have all reported satisfaction with both
the ease of an AIMS assessment and the strong psychometric properties of the scale. Thus, the
descriptors of the 58 motor items and the administration and scoring guidelines have stood the
test of time and remain unchanged in this second edition.If you have a general Permissions query

the Alberta Infant Motor Scale, a standardized measurement scale used to assess the gross motor
abilities of infants.Line drawings and photographs of 58 gross motor skills.Five copies of the AIMS
scoresheet are included with the print edition.The Alberta Infant Motor Scale is trusted by
clinicians and researchers across the globe.NEW! Enhanced eBook version, included with print
purchase, contains an electronic view of the scoresheet for ease of reference and allows you to
access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.NEW! Clinical
examples in the Clinical Uses of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale chapter offer brief case studies
showing the different clinical uses of the AIMS.NEW! Scoring section in the Administration
Guidelines chapter includes examples of common scoring errors.NEW! Additional scoring
&quothins&quotare provided for items that have been identified as problematic during therapist
training sessions.UPDATED! Theories of Motor Development chapter presents the change from
the neuromaturational theory to those originating from dynamic systems theory and motor control
theories.UPDATED! Motor Assessment of the Developing Infant chapter includes a discussion of
the unique challenges of assessing infant motor abilities and the important psychometric
properties to consider when choosing an infant assessment tool.UPDATED! Clinical Uses of the
Alberta Infant Motor Scale chapter includes recent literature on clinical uses and advises on when
not to use the AIMS as an assessment measure. UPDATED! Norm-Referencing of the Alberta
Infant Motor Scale chapter reflects the most up-to-date normative data and validity research and
discusses research on the instability of infant motor scores over time in typically developing infants
using the AIMS.
