    Study Notes

    Alberta Infant Motor Skills (AIMS)

    • Evaluates motor development in infants at risk for delays
    • Focuses on achieving motor milestones and components needed for those milestones, such as:
      • Weight Distribution
      • Posture
      • Movement against gravity
    • Ages 0-18 months or until independent walking
    • Suitable for infants with delays but relatively normal movement patterns
    • Norm-referenced: Compares an infant's performance to a group of other infants
    • Interobserver reliability: Intraclass correlation coefficients between 0.76 and 0.99 for infants 0-18 months
    • Content validation: Surveyed Canadian pediatric physical therapists and consulted with international experts
    • Cost: 96forthetestingmanual,96 for the testing manual, 96forthetestingmanual,50 for a package of 50 scoring sheets
    • Additional materials: Examining table (0-4 months), firm mat or carpeted area, age-appropriate toys, stable bench or chair
    • Administration time: 20 minutes
    • Administration setting: Inpatient or outpatient, repeated monthly or less frequently depending on the purpose
    • Potential settings: Inpatient (evaluation or closer to discharge), outpatient, developmental clinic

    Bayley Scales of Infant Development (Bayley 4)

    • Assesses multiple domains of child development

    Alberta Infant Motor Skills (AIMS)

    • Measures motor development for infants at risk of motor delay
    • Focuses on attaining motor milestones and components necessary to attain them
      • Weight distribution
      • Posture
      • Movement against the force of gravity
    • Age: Infants aged 0-18 months or until walking independently
    • Best suited to infants with delays but relatively normal movement patterns.
    • Norm-referenced, meaning it compares an individual's performance to a group
    • Reliability: Interobserver reliability has intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.76 to 0.99 for infants 0-18 months
    • Validity: Content validated through surveys and expert consultation.
    • Cost: 96foratestingmanualand96 for a testing manual and 96foratestingmanualand50 for a package of 50 testing/scoring sheets.
    • Additional materials required: Examining table for younger infants (0-4 months), a firm mat or carpeted area for older infants, toys appropriate for ages 0-18 months, stable wooden bench or chair for observing pull-to-stand, standing, and cruising items.
    • Administration time: 20 minutes
    • Can be administered in inpatient or outpatient settings
    • May be repeated monthly or less frequently depending on the purpose of testing or intervention.
    • Suitable for use in inpatient (potentially at evaluation more likely closer to discharge for planning purposes), outpatient, and developmental clinic settings.

    Bayley Scales of Infant Development (Bayley 4)

    • Covers multiple domains of child development.

    Alberta Infant Motor Skills (AIMS)

    • AIMS measures motor development in infants at risk for motor delay.
    • It focuses on attaining motor milestones and necessary components like weight distribution, posture, and movement against gravity.
    • Used for infants aged 0-18 months or until they walk independently.
    • Best suited for infants with some motor delays but relatively normal movement patterns.
    • Norm-referenced test.
    • Interobserver reliability is high, with intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.76 to 0.99 for infants aged 0-18 months.
    • Content validity was established through surveys and expert consultations.
    • Test costs 96forthemanualand96 for the manual and 96forthemanualand50 for 50 scoring sheets.
    • Additional materials required: examining table, firm mat or carpeted area, age-appropriate toys, stable bench or chair.
    • Takes approximately 20 minutes to administer.
    • Can be administered in inpatient or outpatient settings, potentially monthly or less frequently depending on the purpose of testing or intervention.
    • Can be used in inpatient, outpatient, and developmental clinic settings.
