TIMP


 

Why is TIMP Different?

 

The TIMP Test assesses postural and selective control of movement, which is essential for functional motor performance in early infancy.
Scientific studies have shown the following results about TIMP;

 

•It reflects the movement demands placed on infants by caregivers in daily life interactions.

 

•Diagnoses motor developmental delay from 34 weeks gestation to 4 months postpartum, based on age standards developed from a sample of 990 US infants of all races/ethnicities.

 

•It shows higher measurement sensitivity than other tests, meaning it qualifies babies earlier for early intervention services due to more items at each age.

 

•It allows to measure the outcomes of physical therapy provided to high-risk infants in special care nurseries or home exercise programs offered to premature infants after hospital discharge. 

 

•Predicts 12-month motor performance with 92% sensitivity and 76% specificity and preschool motor performance with 72% sensitivity and 91% specificity at 3 months of age.

 

•It has excellent test-retest and evaluated reliability in the hands of trained users.

 

TIMP CAN ONLY BE SAFELY ADMINISTERED BY EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS FOR SENSITIVE BABIES.

 

 

Using the TIMP test administration manual increases the reliability of the test.
