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) - a
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's score 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

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
"hints" are 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.
