Introduction of Alberta Infant Motor Scale

Abstract

The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a method for evaluating motor development to differentiate between normal and disabled children. In the present study, we tried to evaluate 3 normal children using the description of AIMS. As a result, we obtained 25-50% percentage rank (PR) in one case and more than 90% PR in the other two cases. Since AIMS can be performed in a short period and even evaluators with poor experience can collect relatively accurate results. AIMS is considered to be a useful tool for screening tests.
