Overview
What you will learn:
- The Current Clinical Topic - Infant Motor Profile course provided by ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences is a new video-based instrument to assess the motor development of infants aged 3 to 18 months based on video-recordings of spontaneous motor behaviour in supine, prone, sitting, standing, walking and during reaching and grasping.
- The IMP provides information about the infant's motor repertoire, its abilities to select adaptive motor strategies and about gross and fine motor achievement. It consists of five domains: movement variation, adaptability, performance, symmetry and fluency. Initial studies have shown good reliability and promising validity.
After taking this course you will:
- know and understand the current leading theory of neuromotor development.
- understand the structure of the Infant Motor Profile.
- know the different IMP domains and can distinguish them.
- be able to perform the Infant Motor Profile correctly in practice.
- be able to evaluate and interpret the Infant Motor Profile.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Theoretical background of the Infant Motor Profile;
- Principles of motor development on the basis of the Neural Group Selection Theory;
- Evaluation of the IMP based on video examples;
- Implementation and evaluation of an IMP assessment with a child.
