Abstract

Objective: To examine test-retest reliability of the TIMPSI in infants at risk for impaired functional motor performance.

Methods: The TIMPSI was administered twice to 51 infants from two different hospitals in Norway.

Results: The intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.99.

Conclusion: Test-retest reliability of the TIMPSI was excellent.

Keywords: Motor assessment; Preterm/high-risk infants; Test–retest.
