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.

The course includes simultaneous translation into Spanish.

Upon completing the course, participants will be able to:

  • Assess typical development using the General Movements (GMs) Assessment.
  • Evaluate infants with brain injury using the GMs Assessment.
  • Describe how to incorporate the qualitative assessment method of GMs into clinical practice and research.
  • Distinguish between typical and atypical GMs in infants using the GMs Assessment.
