Abstract

Aim: To systematically review the psychometric properties of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) when used for infant populations internationally, defined as infants not living in Canada, where the normative sample was established.

Method: Seven databases were searched for studies that informed the psychometric properties of the AIMS and culturally adapted or translated versions in non-Canadian infant cohorts.

Results: Forty-nine studies reported results from 11 663 infants representing 22 countries. Country-specific versions of the AIMS are available for Brazilian, Polish, Serbian, Spanish, and Thai infant cohorts. Country-specific norms were introduced for Brazilian, Dutch, Polish, and Thai cohorts. The original Canadian norms were appropriate for Brazilian, Greek, and Turkish cohorts. Across countries, the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the AIMS was generally sufficient, except for predictive validity. Sufficient structural validity was found in one study, responsiveness in one study, discriminant validity in four of four studies, concurrent validity in 14 of 16 studies, reliability in 26 of 26 studies, and predictive validity in only eight of 13 studies.

Interpretation: The use of the AIMS with validated versions and norms is recommended. The AIMS or country-specific versions should be used with caution if norms have not been validated within the specific cultural context.

艾伯塔婴儿运动量表和针对国际婴儿群体的文化改编版或翻译版的心理计量特性：系统综述。

目的：系统回顾艾伯塔婴儿运动量表（AIMS）在国际婴儿群体中使用时的心理测量特性：方法：我们在七个数据库中搜索了有关 AIMS 心理测量特性的研究，以及在非加拿大婴儿群体中使用的文化改编版或翻译版：结果：49 项研究报告了来自 22 个国家的 11 663 名婴儿的结果。针对巴西、波兰、塞尔维亚、西班牙和泰国婴儿队列的 AIMS 有特定国家版本。巴西、荷兰、波兰和泰国队列采用了针对特定国家的标准。原加拿大标准适用于巴西、希腊和土耳其队列。除预测效度外，AIMS 的效度、信度和反应度在各个国家普遍足够。在一项研究中发现了充分的结构效度，在一项研究中发现了充分的反应效度，在四项研究中的四项发现了充分的判别效度，在 16 项研究中的 14 项发现了充分的并发效度，在 26 项研究中的 26 项发现了充分的可靠性，而在 13 项研究中只有 8 项发现了充分的预测效度：建议使用经过验证的 AIMS 版本和标准。如果规范尚未在特定文化背景下得到验证，则应谨慎使用 AIMS 或针对特定国家的版本。
