Prechtl’s General Movement Assessment Advanced Course

DEADLINE for registrations: 31 July 2025
Location: Hotel Galilei, Via Darsena 1, Pisa (Italy)
ADVANCED COURSE
Studies conducted over the last 20 years have shown that the assessment of the quality of spontaneous movement and above all of general movements (GM) is an early and reliable indicator for the diagnosis and prognosis of neurological disorders of the fetus, newborn and infant.
The aim of the course is to provide a theoretical basis of this new approach to neurological assessment discovered by Prof. Heinz Prechtl and, above all, to train doctors and therapists on the use of this technique for clinical and research purposes. The course meets the standards specified by the GM Trust. Information on the method and published articles are available on the website www.general-movements-trust.info.
Participants registering for the advanced course must have previously completed the basic training course. Advanced course participants will learn more detailed scoring systems and will have the opportunity to review their own recordings with the tutor.
At the end of the course, participants will be required to take a final test in order to receive a certificate of reliability in this method of assessment.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
• Assess the components of general movements including speed, amplitude, intensity, and rotations during the preterm and term age
• Apply the detailed scoring systems of spontaneous motility in newborns (GMOS) and young infants (MOS).
• Assess fidgety movements and the concurrent motor repertoire (movements and postures) in three- to five-month-old infants
• Discuss their own diagnoses of developing infants using infant movement assessment, illustrated with their own recordings.
This activity has been planned for physicians, developmental therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals interested in early diagnosis of children with cerebral palsy.
