URINARY CONTINENCE
For each activity (No. 1 - 20), statements a - e refer to a different level of ability.
Thinking of the last 2 weeks, tick the box that represents your relative’s/friend’s AVERAGE ability. (If in doubt
about which box to tick, choose the level of ability which represents their average performance over the last 2
Weeks. Tick ‘Not applicable’ if your relative never did that activity when they were well).
The original reference for the AIMS seems to be Guy W. ECDEU Assessment Manual for
Psychopharmacology, revised ed. Washington, DC, US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare,
1976. A nice practical discussion can be found in Munetz MR, Benjamin S. How to examine patients using the
Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale. Hospital and Community Psychiatry Nov 1988, 39 (11):1172-1177.

notes:
Federal regs here require this test be administered every 6 mos. for nursing home patients currently on
antipsychotic meds. I'm not sure if there are similar regs for other populations/settings.
Instructions
There are two parallel procedures, the examination procedure, which tells the patient what to do, and
the scoring procedure, which tells the clinician how to rate what he or she observes.
Examination Procedure
Either before or after completing the examination procedure, observe the patient unobtrusively at rest (e.g., in
the waiting room).
The chair to be used in this examination should be a hard, firm one without arms.
1. Ask the patient whether there is anything in his or her mouth (such as gum or candy) and, if so, to
remove it.
2. Ask about the *current* condition of the patient's teeth. Ask if he or she wears dentures. Ask whether
teeth or dentures bother the patient *now*.
3. Ask whether the patient notices any movements in his or her mouth, face, hands, or feet. If yes, ask the
patient to describe them and to indicate to what extent they *currently* bother the patient or interfere
with activities.
4. Have the patient sit in chair with hands on knees, legs slightly apart, and feet flat on floor. (Look at the
entire body for movements while the patient is in this position.)
5. Ask the patient to sit with hands hanging unsupported -- if male, between his legs, if female and
wearing a dress, hanging over her knees. (Observe hands and other body areas).
6. Ask the patient to open his or her mouth. (Observe the tongue at rest within the mouth.) Do this twice.
7. Ask the patient to protrude his or her tongue. (Observe abnormalities of tongue movement.) Do this
twice.
8. Ask the patient to tap his or her thumb with each finger as rapidly as possible for 10 to 15 seconds, first
with right hand, then with left hand. (Observe facial and leg movements.) [±activated]
9. Flex and extend the patient's left and right arms, one at a time.
10. Ask the patient to stand up. (Observe the patient in profile. Observe all body areas again, hips
included.)
11. Ask the patient to extend both arms out in front, palms down. (Observe trunk, legs, and mouth.)
[activated]
12. Have the patient walk a few paces, turn, and walk back to the chair. (Observe hands and gait.) Do this
twice. [activated]
Scoring Procedure
Complete the examination procedure before making ratings.
For the movement ratings (the first three categories below), rate the highest severity observed. 0 = none, 1 =
minimal (may be extreme normal), 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. According to the original AIMS
instructions, one point is subtracted if movements are seen only on activation, but not all investigators follow
that convention.
Extremity Movements
Trunk Movements
Global Judgments
0 = none, normal
1 = minimal
2 = mild
3 = moderate
4 = severe
0 = no awareness
1 = aware, no distress
2 = aware, mild distress
3 = aware, moderate distress
4 = aware, severe distress
Dental Status
0 = no
1 = yes
0 = no
1 = yes
