A home-video method to assess infant gross motor development: parent perspectives on feasibility.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Current use of smartphone cameras by parents create opportunities for longitudinal home-video-assessments to monitor infant development. We developed and validated a home-video method for parents, enabling Pediatric Physical Therapists to assess infants' gross motor development with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS).
