Prechtl’s General Movement Assessment Advanced Course

Cincinnati Children’s Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy is proud to offer both the basic and advanced general movement assessment courses. Research conducted in the last 20 years has shown that the qualitative assessment of spontaneous movement in the fetus, newborn, and young infant is an early and reliable indicator for diagnosis and prognosis of neurological disorders. Compelling evidence is now available that qualitative assessment of General Movements (GMs) — a specific type of spontaneous movement — under the age of five months is the best predictor of cerebral palsy. This course fulfills the standards specified by the Generalized Movement Trust. The course will consist of lessons, demonstration, and discussion of video recordings. Lectures will alternate with exercises in small groups with videos prepared by the tutors. Participants registering for the advanced course must have previously completed the basic training course.
