Prechtl’s Method of the Qualitative Assessment of General Movements: Basic and Advanced Courses – Cairns 2024
This three day course provides an introduction into Prechtl’s Method on the Qualitative Assessment of General Movements in young infants. This new assessment method has shown its merit for the prenatal and postnatal evaluation of the integrity of the nervous system. Compelling evidence is now available that qualitative assessment of General Movements (GMs) at a very early age is the best predictor for cerebral palsy. This method has become a potent supplement to the traditional kind of neurological examination.
These courses will be held just prior to the Australasian Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine Conference in Cairns (31 July – 3 August 2024). Take the opportunity to join the Pre-conference workshops being held on the Tuesday the 30th February (registrations required).
