    Study Notes

    Alberta Infant Motor Skills (AIMS)

    • Measures motor development in infants at risk for motor delay
    • Focuses on milestones and components needed to achieve those milestones:
      • Weight distribution
      • Posture
      • Movement against gravity
    • Suitable for infants 0-18 months or until independent walking but with relatively normal movement patterns
    • Norm-referenced test
    • Interobserver reliability found intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.76 to 0.99 for infants 0-18 months
    • Content validation achieved through a survey of Canadian pediatric physical therapists and consultation with an international panel of experts
    • Costs 96forthetestingmanualand96 for the testing manual and 96forthetestingmanualand50 for a package of 50 scoring sheets
    • Requires additional materials:
      • Examining table for younger infants (0-4 months)
      • Firm mat or carpeted area for older infants
      • Toys appropriate for ages 0-18 months
      • Stable bench or chair to observe pull-to-stand, standing, and cruising items
    • Takes 20 minutes to administer
    • Can be administered in inpatient or outpatient settings, repeated monthly or less frequently depending on the purpose of testing/intervention
    • Can be performed in inpatient (potentially at evaluation but more likely closer to discharge for planning purposes), outpatient, or developmental clinics

    Bayley Scales of Infant Development (Bayley 4)

    • Measures multiple domains of child development

    Alberta Infant Motor Skills (AIMS)

    • Measures motor development in infants at risk for motor delay.

    • Focuses on attaining motor milestones and components necessary to attain the milestones which are:

      • Weight distribution
      • Posture
      • Movement against the force of gravity

    • Suitable for infants aged 0-18 months or until walking independently.

    • Best suited for infants who are delayed, but have relatively normal movement patterns.

    • Norm-referenced.

    • Interobserver reliability found intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.76 to 0.99 of infants 0-18 months.

    • Content validation was accomplished through a mail survey of Canadian pediatric physical therapists and consultation with an international panel of experts.

    • 96testingmanual,96 testing manual, 96testingmanual,50 testing scoring sheets (package of 50).

    • Additional materials needed: examining table for younger infants (0 to 4 months), firm mat or carpeted area for older infants, toys appropriate for ages 0 to 18 months, stable wood bench or chair to observe some of the pull to stand, standing, and cruising items.

    • Takes 20 minutes to administer.

    • Can be administered inpatient or outpatient, and repeated monthly or less often depending on the purpose of testing/intervention.

    • Setting(s) in which this would be performed: inpatient (potentially at evaluation more likely closer to discharge for planning purposes), outpatient, developmental clinic.
