简要总结
The aim of the study was to derive a Polish version of the AIMS through its cultural adaptation and validation. This process was based on an analysis of intra- and interrater reliability, as well as concurrent validity, using PDMS-2.
详细描述
The monitoring infant motor development allows for detecting delays and disturbances, enabling, if necessary, early therapeutic interventions to prevent further structural and functional disorders. However, the developmental assessment should be performed using standardised tools, which need to undergo cultural adaptation adapted and validation. This process is necessary to ensure their reliability in countries, cultures, populations, and languages different than initially intended.
The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a diagnostic tool for the developmental evaluation of infants from the time of birth, to the period of independent walking (0-18 months), based on the observation of spontaneous motor performance [9,10]. It is based on several assumptions of the neuromaturational model and the concepts of the dynamic systems development theory. The AIMS was created in the early 1990s by Piper and Darrah, validated and standardised on the Canadian population [9,10]. Moreover, a 2014 re-evaluation of the scale noted that the normative values in this population remained stable.
The intended uses of the AIMS comprise: 1) identification of infants with motor delay, 2) providing medical professionals and parents information on motor achievements of the infant (both currently developing activities and those not observed in the infant's repertoire), 3) measurement of motor performance over time, or before and after an intervention, 4) as a research tool for the estimation of rehabilitation program efficacy in infants with motor delays .
The scale has been used (as an outcome measure) in numerous studies in healthy infants and those affected by or at risk of developmental disorders.
So far, research on the reliability and validity of the AIMS has been performed in Japanese, Chinese, Brazilian, Spanish, Thai, Greek, Dutch, Flemish and Serbian sample groups. However, there has not yet been a study conducted in any Middle European population.

结局指标
主要结局
The reliability of the Polish version of the AIMS
时间窗: 4 months
The intrarater reliability test included two assessments (with one-month interval) of every participants with the Polish version AIMS performed by one researcher - a peadiatric physiotherapist (Rater A). For the second assessment, the videos of spontaneous motor performance of infants were recorded during the examination. The interrater reliability involved assessments of every participants by the Polish version of AIMS by two researchers - peadiatric physiotherapists (Rater A, Rater B). Intrarater and interrater reliability were examined via calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of the ICC for the subscales, as well as total scores for the four studied age groups.
次要结局
- The study of the concurrent validity of the Polish version of the AIMS(12 months)
