Every infant’s movement tells a story.

The Prechtl’s General Movements Assessment helps clinicians observe the quality of an infant’s spontaneous movements during the earliest months of life — a critical window for recognising neurodevelopmental risk.

In the GMA Basic Course, participants will learn the foundations of observing and interpreting general movements, including normal and abnormal movement patterns, fidgety movements, and how GMA supports earlier identification and timely care.

For clinicians working with infants in neonatal care, paediatrics, rehabilitation, or early intervention, this is a valuable evidence-based skill to add to your clinical toolkit.

Not every infant at risk looks "at risk."

Can a 3-month-old baby's movements predict cerebral palsy?
Surprisingly, yes.

Some infants appear to be developing normally during the first few months of life. Yet subtle differences in their spontaneous movements may already provide important clues about brain development.

A five-year study of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants found that the absence of fidgety movements at 3 months post-term was highly predictive of cerebral palsy and was also associated with moderate-to-severe motor, cognitive and language impairment at 2 years of age.

That is why early observation matters.
When these early movement patterns are recognised by trained clinicians, they can support:
✓ Earlier identification of infants at risk
✓ More informed monitoring and follow-up
✓ Timely referral for specialist assessment
✓ Earlier intervention during a critical window of brain development

The Prechtl's General Movements Assessment (GMA) is an internationally recognised, evidence-based assessment that helps clinicians recognise these early neurological signs—often before functional delays become obvious.

If you work with high-risk infants, this is one of the most valuable clinical skills you can add to your assessment toolkit.

Because evidence informs practice—but skilled observation changes lives.

When clinicians work with infants born very preterm, selecting the right assessment matters.

A 2020 systematic review evaluated six clinical assessment tools used during the first six months of corrected age to predict developmental outcomes at 24 months.

Among the available assessments, the General Movements Assessment (GMA) demonstrated the strongest predictive validity for identifying mild-to-moderate motor and cognitive delays, while the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) showed excellent predictive accuracy for severe motor delay.

Evidence like this is one reason why GMA has become an important clinical skill in neonatal follow-up, paediatric rehabilitation, and early intervention services worldwide.

If you work with infants at risk of neurodevelopmental difficulties, learning GMA can strengthen your clinical observation and support earlier identification, monitoring, and intervention planning.

Many clinicians associate the Prechtl General Movements Assessment (GMA) with the early identification of cerebral palsy.

But that's only part of the story.
Research suggests that the quality of an infant's spontaneous movements may also provide valuable insights into later cognitive development, particularly in infants born preterm. Rather than reflecting motor function alone, General Movements offer a window into the developing nervous system.

For clinicians working in NICU follow-up, neonatal care, paediatrics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and early intervention, this reinforces an important message:

Early observation is about understanding overall neurodevelopment—not just predicting motor outcomes.

Learning GMA equips clinicians with an internationally recognised, evidence-based assessment that strengthens clinical reasoning during one of the most important periods of infant brain development.

If you work with high-risk infants, this is a skill that can make a meaningful difference to early identification, follow-up, and intervention planning.

The latest evidence continues to support what experienced clinicians have recognised for years.

A 2024 study published in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology found that the Prechtl General Movements Assessment (GMA) remains a highly effective tool for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants at high risk.

Importantly, the study showed that the strongest predictive performance came from assessing both general movement complexity and fidgety movements, reinforcing the importance of comprehensive GMA training rather than relying on a single observation.

For clinicians working with high-risk infants, GMA is more than an assessment—it is a structured clinical skill that strengthens observation, clinical reasoning, and early decision-making during a critical period of brain development.

If you work in neonatal care, paediatrics, rehabilitation, or early intervention, learning GMA is an investment in evidence-based practice.

This is not just another professional course.

The Prechtl’s General Movements Assessment is an internationally recognised clinical skill that helps clinicians observe the quality of an infant’s spontaneous movements during a critical window of early development.

For infants at risk of neurodevelopmental difficulties, earlier identification can support closer monitoring, timely referral, and earlier intervention planning.

That is why GMA is increasingly valued by professionals working in neonatal care, paediatrics, rehabilitation, and early intervention.

If you work with infants, this is a skill worth adding to your clinical toolkit.
