The Training Course is aimed at physicians, physiotherapists and other professionals working in the field of infant neurology. The aim of this four-days-course is to provide an introduction on the Prechtl General Movement Assessment in young infants.This assessment method has shown its merit for the prenatal and postnatal evaluation of the integrity of the nervous system. Compelling evidence is available that the assessment of General Movements (GMs) at a very early age is the best predictor for cerebral palsy. This method has become a potent supplement to the traditional kind of neurological examination. The course fulfils the standards specified by the GM-Trust. Main topics of lectures, demonstrations and exercises are:


  • The ontogeny of spontaneous motor activity;
  • Normal and abnormal GMs from birth to 20 weeks postterm;
  • Practical instructions for recording and assessment of GMs;
  • GMs and follow-up: individual developmental trajectories and their predictive power for later neurological impairments.


Course Objectives

Assess typically developing infants using the General Movement Assessment (GMA)

Distinguish between typical and atypical general movements in developing infants using the GMA.
