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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf you have a general \u003cb\u003ePermissions\u003c\/b\u003e query or require guidance on how to request permission, please visit Elsevier's Permissions FAQ page (\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ehttps:\/\/www.elsevier.com\/about\/policies\/copyright\/permissions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e) where you will find further information, or alternatively you may submit a question via (\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ehttps:\/\/service.elsevier.com\/app\/contact\/supporthub\/permissions-helpdesk\/\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor \u003cb\u003eLicensing\u003c\/b\u003e opportunities, please contact\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eH.Licensing@elsevier.com\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComprehensive coverage of how to use the\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlberta Infant Motor Scale,\u003c\/b\u003e a standardized measurement scale used to assess the gross motor abilities of infants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLine drawings and photographs\u003c\/b\u003e of 58 gross motor skills.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFive copies of the AIMS\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003escoresheet\u003c\/b\u003e are included with the print edition\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Alberta Infant Motor Scale\u003c\/b\u003e is trusted by clinicians and researchers across the globe.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW!
