The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is the first evaluative measure of motor function designed for quantifying change in the gross motor abilities of children with cerebral palsy. The measure is widely used internationally, and is now the standard outcome assessment tool for clinical intervention in cerebral palsy. This new version (GMFM-66) is completely revised, largely new, and has been improved through Rasch analysis. GMFM-66 transforms the standard GMFM into an interval measure; provides an 'item map' of the relative difficulty among items; and includes a user-friendly, computer-assisted software program to aid in scoring and interpretation of GMFM data. This is included, with a printed scoresheet, on a CD-ROM enclosed in the book. The expertise of the authors comprises paediatrics, design, engineering and physiotherapy. They have over years devised and run research at the CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada.

It is easy to read, and clearly written, with precise descriptions and with well-structured page layout...Everybody who is interested in monitoring motor development in children should read this book." European Journal of Paediatric Neurology
"GMFM has proved to be a valuable tool for paediatric physiotherapists, and both clinicians and researchers will appreciate this more versatile updated version." Physiotherapy

This review is from: Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) Self Instructional Training CD-Rom (Clinics in Developmental Medicine) (CD-ROM)
The book is great. I followed instructions re: CDs, and the videos won't play. I can not find a FAQ, and there should have been a contact web site listed for problems. I will update this post if the needed information is forthcoming....a WV school Physical Therapist

This review is from: Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) Self Instructional Training CD-Rom (Clinics in Developmental Medicine) (CD-ROM)
I had to send this item back because it will not play on my laptop with Vista. I could not find that anywhere on the information describing the item before I bought it. Amazon was great, though, I got a full refund.
