The TIMP is a 42 item assessment of postural and selective motor control of functional performance in infants between the ages of 34 weeks (gestational age) and 4 months (post term corrected age).
42 items are included with 13 observed and 29 elicited.

The American Physical Therapy Association Special Interest Group on Neonatology lists the TIMP as an assessment appropriate for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
