Objective: To evaluate the validity of the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) and general movements (GMs)assessment for predicting Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) score at 12 months in preterm infants.
Methods: A total of 44 preterm infants who underwent the GMs and TIMP at 1 month and 3 months of correctedage (CA) and whose motor performance was evaluated using AIMS at 12 months CA were included. GMs werejudged as abnormal on basis of poor repertoire or cramped-synchronized movements at 1 month CA andabnormal or absent fidgety movement at 3 months CA. TIMP and AIMS scores were categorized as normal (averageand low average and >5th percentile, respectively) or abnormal (below average and far below average or <5thpercentile, respectively). Correlations between GMs and TIMP scores at 1 month and 3 months CA and the AIMSclassification at 12 months CA were examined.
Results: The TIMP score at 3 months CA and GMs at 1 month and 3 months CA were significantly correlated withthe motor performance at 12 months CA. However, the TIMP score at 1 month CA did not correlate with the AIMSclassification at 12 months CA. For infants with normal GMs at 3 months CA, the TIMP score at 3 months CAcorrelated significantly with the AIMS classification at 12 months CA.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that neuromotor assessment using GMs and TIMP could be useful to identifypreterm infants who are likely to benefit from intervention.
