About

The Current Clinical Topic - Infant Motor Profile course provided by ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences imparts the necessary knowledge for you on the Infant Motor Profile (IMP), a modern video-based instrument to assess the motor development of infants aged 3 to 18 months.

Overview

What you will learn:

  • The Current Clinical Topic - Infant Motor Profile 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.
