LOINC long common name : Test of Infant Motor Performance Version 5.1;
LOINC description : GENERAL DIRECTIONS 1. All observations and test procedures should be carried out when
the infant is in state 3, 4 or 5 (as described in Brazelton, TB: Neonatal Behavioral
Assessment Scale. Philadelphia, JB Lippincott, 1984, pp. 17-19). An infant must have
lusty crying for 15 seconds or more to be in state 6 and thus untestable for that
item. 2. The infant should wear as little clothing as possible to avoid restriction
of movement and to allow the body part under observation to be visible. At the same
time, care must be taken to avoid thermal stress. 3. Testing should be performed on
the crib mattress or other firm surface. Clear area of excess bedding. Begin with
observation of spontaneous activity (Observed Items). After recording initial observations,
continue to watch for and score presence of Observed Items throughout the remainder
of the test. It may help to note Observed Items at the bottom of pages when noted
during Elicited Item administration. 4. Unless otherwise stated, verbal and/or visual
prompts may be used to elicit the best possible response from the infant. 5. No more
than three trials are allowed for each elicited test item (Elicited Items) based on
infant's response, state, and tolerance, but usually no more than one trial is needed
so as to avoid unduly tiring the infant. Record the best response observed. 6. If
the infant fails to meet the full criterion for a given response, score the behavior
at the next lower response level for that item. 7. Midline is defined to include the
arc which is 15 degrees to either side of midline when the head is in the upright
position. 8. Pacifiers may be used to quiet infant but should not be used during the
actual administration of test items. 9. If the testing is interrupted, items that
remain can be completed in a 2nd session within 24 hours of the 1st.Caution: The TIMP
must be used ONLY by persons with training and experience in safe handling of fragile
infants.;
