Overview
The Feinberg School of Medicine Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Science is proud to offer both the basic and advanced general movement assessment courses. Research conducted in the last 20 years has shown the qualitative assessment of spontaneous movement in the fetus, newborn, and young infant is an early and reliable indicator for diagnosis and prognosis of neurological disorders. Compelling evidence is now available that qualitative assessment of General Movements —a specific type of spontaneous movement—under the age of five months is the best predictor of cerebral palsy. This course fulfills the standards specified by the Generalized Movement Trust (www.general-movements-trust.info).The course will consist of lessons, demonstration, and discussion of video-recordings. Lectures will alternate with exercises in small groups with videos prepared by the tutors.

Objectives
  1. Basic: • Assess typically developing infants using the General Movement Assessment
  2. Basic: • Assess infants with brain lesions using the General Movement Assessment
  3. Basic: • Describe how to incorporate the General Movement Assessment technique into their clinical and research practices
  4. Basic: • Correctly distinguish between typical and atypical general movements in developing infants using the General Movement Assessment, as measured by performance on a reliability test
  5. Advanced: • Assess the components of general movements including speed, amplitude, intensity, and rotations during the preterm and term age
  6. Advanced: • Evaluate the individual trajectory of developing infants using the assessment of components of general movements; • Assess fidgety movements and the concurrent motor repertoire (movements and postures) in 3-5 month old infants
  7. Advanced: • Discuss their own diagnosis of developing infants using infant movement assessment illustrated with their own recordings
  8. Advanced: Correctly distinguish between typical and atypical general movements in developing infants using the General Movement Assessment, as measured by performance on a reliability test

Registration

Basic Course: $925

Advanced Course: $975 FULL

Residents/Fellows $675 (letter verifying resident/fellow status required)
