Motor Assessment of the Developing Infant, 2nd Edition presents theories of infant motor development and discusses the unique challenges involved in assessing the motor skills of developing infants as compared to that of adults. It provides step-by-step instructions for using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) - a scale that measures infant gross motor skills. It also features a review of two current theories of motor development, line drawings and photographs of 58 gross motor skills, and a percentile graph to plot an infant's score and derive an estimate of his or her percentile ranking. Clinicians, researchers, and parents/caregivers have all reported satisfaction with both the ease of an AIMS assessment and the strong psychometric properties of the scale. Thus, the descriptors of the 58 motor items and the administration and scoring guidelines have stood the test of time and remain unchanged in this second edition.

For Licensing opportunities, please contact [email protected]. Comprehensive coverage of how to use the Alberta Infant Motor Scale, a standardized measurement scale used to assess the gross motor abilities of infants. Line drawings and photographs of 58 gross motor skills. Five copies of the AIMS scoresheet are included with the print edition. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale is trusted by clinicians and researchers across the globe. NEW! Enhanced eBook version, included with print purchase, contains an electronic view of the scoresheet for ease of reference and allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices. NEW! Clinical examples in the Clinical Uses of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale chapter offer brief case studies showing the different clinical uses of the AIMS. NEW! Scoring section in the Administration Guidelines chapter includes examples of common scoring errors. NEW! Additional scoring "hints" are provided for items that have been identified as problematic during therapist training sessions. UPDATED! Theories of Motor Development chapter presents the change from the neuromaturational theory to those originating from dynamic systems theory and motor control theories. UPDATED! Motor Assessment of the Developing Infant chapter includes a discussion of the unique challenges of assessing infant motor abilities and the important psychometric properties to consider when choosing an infant assessment tool. UPDATED! Clinical Uses of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale chapter includes recent literature on clinical uses and advises on when not to use the AIMS as an assessment measure. UPDATED! Norm-Referencing of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale chapter reflects the most up-to-date normative data and validity research and discusses research on the instability of infant motor scores over time in typically developing infants using the AIMS.

Huge help...
This was a huge help to me as I put together a lesson for my church on the Resurrection. There are some very devotional, personal aspects to this work as well as very helpful apologetics information.

Amazing compilation of historical facts that I never heard before
Format: Kindle
Our local priest quoted from this book on Easter Sunday and that made me curious to read it. The book starts slowly, but the second half is a great history lesson, loaded with information that I had never known. Compelling.

Excellent Introduction to Hemodynamics for a Resident or Fellow
Format: Paperback
Background: PGY-2 Internal Medicine Resident with no prior hemodynamic monitoring experience Overall: Fantastic introduction to the field. The author will assume you know the following prior to starting the book: - Moderate understanding of EKG’s - Anatomical arrangement of the heart and its vessels - Understanding some of the practical effects of atrial fibrillation (lack of an atrial contraction, etc) Specifics: The book can be picked up without significant prior knowledge of hemodynamic monitoring. I initially tried to read Hemodynamic Rounds, and the authors of that book did not introduce significant pieces of information, such as the normal pressures of the heart chambers, what each wave means on the monitor, and how is each chamber of the heart/vessel represented on the monitor (where do I look to see the left ventricular pressure?). In contrast to that, Dr. Hanna provides a book that appears to be intended for residents/cardiology fellows or zealous pre-cardiology interns who are looking for an introduction to the field that maintains enough depth to be practical. Its first section goes over the relevant physiology and pathophysiology and the mechanical/hemodynamic representation. The second section is a series of practice problems with excellent explanations which reviews all of the prior concepts and helps to solidify them in the reader’s mind. The reader will learn to appreciate the relevant waveforms and their relevant representations, the normal values for the cardiac chambers and vessels, and eventually the changes to these normal values during pathologic states. As others have mentioned, it is concise, but this also makes it a bit dense initially when the reader encounters the basic four waveforms and attempts to memorize the normal pressures. Once you get over that initial learning curve, the rest of the first section goes a bit faster. Overall, I’m very happy I purchased this book, and I feel that it has prepared me very well for time spent in the cardiac ICU.
