Over the past 20 years, literature has shown that the evaluation of general movements (GM) is an early indicator for the diagnosis and prognosis of neurological disorders in newborns and infants.

Evidence indicates that using this evaluation method in the early stages of development is the best tool for detecting cerebral palsy. The goal of the basic course is to provide an introduction to the evaluation of general movements.

Participants in the advanced course will have the opportunity to learn detailed scoring systems. The course meets the specific standards set by GM Trust.

To participate in the advanced course, participants must have successfully completed the basic course.

The course includes simultaneous translation into Spanish.

Upon completing the course, participants will be able to:

  • Evaluate the components of general movements, including speed, amplitude, intensity, and rotations during the preterm and term ages.
  • Apply the system for detailed assessment of spontaneous motor behavior in newborns (GMOS-R) and young infants (MOS-R).
  • Assess Fidgety movements and the appropriate motor repertoire (movements and postures) in infants aged 3 to 5 months.
  • Share their own recordings with the tutor and evaluate the detailed assessment of their own clinical cases.
