Standardized Tests Birth-5

PDMS age range

birth to 71 months (5 yrs 11 months)

tests to help predict likelihood of CP

test of infant motor performance, general movement assessment, hammersmith infant neurological examination

developmental tests for young children that include items related to complex balance and coordination

bayley scales of infant development, gross motor function measure, PDMS

bayley test age range

16 days to 42 months 30 days (3.5 yrs)

gross motor function measure can be used for which dx

CP, down syndrome

what tests do correct for premature birth

AIMS, bayley

which tests do not correct for premature birth

PDMS

PDMS completion time

60-90 min

PDMS scores/interpretations

age equivalents, percentile ranks, subtest scaled scores, composite index scores

core subjects of PDMS

body control, body transport, object control, hand manipulation, hand eye control

what does the PEDI assess

key functional capabilities and performance in children ages 6 months to 7 years; also for older children whose functional abilities and lower than those of typical 7 year olds

PEDI completion time

45-60 min

what 3 subjects does the PEDI observe

self care, mobility, social function

GMFM used for

to measure changes in gross motor function over time or with intervention in children with CP

GMFM 66 vs GMFM 88

66 for CP and barefoot, 88 for down syndrome and orthoses/mobility aids

five areas of GMFM

lying/rolling, sitting, crawling/kneeling, standing, walking/running/jumping

AIMS purpose

to assess the maturation of gross motor skills of infants from term (40 weeks gestation) to 18 months post term

AIMS should not be used for what population

infants who use altered movement patterns to compensate for functional limitations (paralysis, spina bifida, hypotonia, muscle spasticity)

4 topics assessed in AIMS

prone, supine, sitting, standing

time to complete AIMS

20-30 min

purpose of bayley

assess/monitor very young children at risk of developmental delays or disorders

indications for use of bayley

prenatal complications and congenital disorders like brain malformation; neonatal complications like preterm birth; neurodevelopmental disorders like CP

time to administer motor skill portion of bayley

10-30 min

bayley measures what 5 domains

cognition, language, motor skills, socio emotional behavior, adaptive behavior
