“…The results of the reliability and agreement statistics presented here are consistent with those from a healthy population from Canada [48] and Poland [62] (total ICC values of interrater reliability in both studies were also set at 0.99). Nevertheless, it is crucial to assess the inter-rater reliability of motor development scales in a diverse group of pediatric patients.…”

“…The assessment tool used was the Polish language version of the Albert Infant Motor Scale [ 62 , 63 , 66 ]. The Polish version of the AIMS was recently validated and adapted for infants aged 0–18 months and can be applied to this population for clinical and scientific purposes [ 62 ]. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale is a norm-referenced, observational scale that evaluates the gross motor development of children from birth to 18 months, until the achievement of independent walking.…”

“…In 2022, cultural adaptation and validation of the Polish version of the AIMS were assessed. The reliability of the observation of the developmental assessment of apparently healthy infants between two experienced (minimum 7 years) pediatric physiotherapists was 0.99 [ 62 ]. Very recently (2023), the authors established the norms of the Polish AIMS version [ 63 ].…”

There is an urgent need for the systematic monitoring of motor and cognitive neurodevelopment and the evaluation of motor skill development in infants and children with heart disease. Familiarizing students and early graduates with the developmental care needed by these patients may help in the system-wide implementation of early motor screening in this population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the agreement between a last-year physiotherapy student and an experienced pediatric physiotherapist when applying the Polish version of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) to a heterogenous group of children with congenital heart defects. Agreement between raters was verified based on the observation of 80 (38 females) patients with heart disease aged 1–18 months using a Bland–Altman plot with limits of agreement and an intraclass correlation coefficient. The bias between raters for the total score for four age groups (0–3 months, 4–7 months, 8–11 months and 12–18 months) was between −0.17 and 0.22 (range: −0.54–0.78), and the ICC was between 0.875 and 1.000. Thus, a reliable assessment of motor development or motor skills using the Polish version of the AIMS can be performed in pediatric patients with heart defects by clinically inexperienced last-year physiotherapy students who are familiarized with the AIMS manual.

AimTo systematically review the psychometric properties of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) when used for infant populations internationally, defined as infants not living in Canada, where the normative sample was established.MethodSeven databases were searched for studies that informed the psychometric properties of the AIMS and culturally adapted or translated versions in non‐Canadian infant cohorts.ResultsForty‐nine studies reported results from 11 663 infants representing 22 countries. Country‐specific versions of the AIMS are available for Brazilian, Polish, Serbian, Spanish, and Thai infant cohorts. Country‐specific norms were introduced for Brazilian, Dutch, Polish, and Thai cohorts. The original Canadian norms were appropriate for Brazilian, Greek, and Turkish cohorts. Across countries, the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the AIMS was generally sufficient, except for predictive validity. Sufficient structural validity was found in one study, responsiveness in one study, discriminant validity in four of four studies, concurrent validity in 14 of 16 studies, reliability in 26 of 26 studies, and predictive validity in only eight of 13 studies.InterpretationThe use of the AIMS with validated versions and norms is recommended. The AIMS or country‐specific versions should be used with caution if norms have not been validated within the specific cultural context.

The standardization of the Polish version of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale

et al. 2023

Background The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a standardized tool for assessing gross motor development from birth through independent walking (0–18 months). The AIMS was developed, validated and standardized in the Canadian population. Results of previous studies on the standardization of the AIMS have discerned differences in some samples in comparison with Canadian norms. This study aimed to establish reference values of the AIMS for the Polish population and compare them to Canadian norms. Methods The research involved 431 infants (219 girls, 212 boys, aged 0-<19 months), divided into nineteen age groups. The translated into Polish and validated version of the AIMS was used. The mean AIMS total scores and percentiles for every age group were calculated and compared with the Canadian reference values. Raw total AIMS scores were converted to 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. A one sample t-test was used to compare the AIMS total scores between Polish and Canadian infants (p-value < 0.05). A binomial test was performed to compare percentiles (p-value < 0.05). Results The mean AIMS total scores in the Polish population were significantly lower in the seven age groups: 0-<1, 1-<2, 4-<5, 5-<6, 6-<7, 13-<14, and 15-<16 months of age (with small to large effect size). A few significant differences were found in the comparison of percentile ranks, mostly in the 75th percentile. Conclusion Our study provides the norms for the Polish AIMS version. According to differences in the mean AIMS total scores and percentiles, the original Canadian reference values are not congruent for Polish infants.
