Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The reliability of the Polish version of the AIMS

  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.

  4 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• The study of the concurrent validity of the Polish version of the AIMS

  12 months

Study Arms (1)

Infants aged 0-18 months

Healthy infants aged 0-18 months, divided into four age groups: 0-3 months, 4-7 months, 8-11 months, and older than 12 months

Other: The motor assessment to establish validation of the Polish version of the AIMS

Interventions

The motor assessment to establish validation of the Polish version of the AIMS OTHER

The translation, cultural adaptation, and validation were conducted according to existing recommendations. The motor development of infants was assessed with the Polish scoresheet of the AlMS and the PDMS v.2. The examination was conducted by two peadiatric physiotherapists with a minimum 7 years of experience.The examination methodology was concordant with the recommendation of the authors of AIMS and PDMS-2.The intrarater reliability test included two assessments (with one-month interval) performed by one researcher (Rater A). For the second assessment, the videos of spontaneous motor performance of infants were recorded during the examination. The interrater reliability involved assessments by two researchers (Rater A, Rater B). The Gross Motor Scales of the PDMS v.2 was administered to estimate concurrent validity (participants at the age of 0-12 months).

Infants aged 0-18 months
