The Infant Motor Profile

The Infant Motor Profile is a practical, evidence-based manual for assessing infant motor behavior, focusing not only on developmental milestones but also on the quality of movement. It provides professionals working with infants at risk of developmental disorders with guidance across five domains of motor behavior: variation, adaptability, symmetry, fluency, and performance. The assessment generates a profile that informs on the infant’s current condition, identifies potential developmental risks, and offers tailored early intervention strategies. With percentile curves for easy interpretation and extensive research backing, the manual is also ideal for monitoring developmental progress over time. Accompanied by illustrations and an online library of over 100 video clips, this text is an essential resource for developmental pediatricians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, neuropaediatricians, and pediatric physiatrists.
