Locomotion, Reflexes, and Object Manipulation. Two subtests, Grasping and Visual Motor Integration, make up the finemotor portion. The test requires the child to perform specific motor items, which are scored with a 2, 1, or 0 for each item, depending on whether the child correctly, partially, or does not complete the item according to its description. Standard scores, percentiles, and age equivalents are available, as well as quotient scores in fine-and gross-motor areas. The entire PDMS-2 can be administered in 45 to 60 minutes. Separate fine-or gross-motor subtest administration takes 20 to 30 minutes.
