Objective[edit | edit source]

Infant Neurological International battery ( INFANIB) is the outcome tool used for the assessment of neuromotor development in infants aged 0-18 months.It was established by Ellison et al. in 1985.[1] The original INFANIB was a 20-item battery with five factors; Spasticity, Vestibular Function, Head and Trunk, French Angles and Legs. It consist of assessment of posture, extremity and axial tone, primitive reflexes, and postural reaction.[1][2] It is the simple, time saving and easy to learn.

It help in

  1. As first year of infant's life is critical period for brain development due to brain plasticity thus helps in early identification and intervention of neuromotor abnormalities.[2]
  2. Normal INFANIB can be used as to reassure parents of risk infants.[3]
  3. It can be used to compare the neuromotor assessment of infant both in infants (example: birth) and later variables ( cerebral palsy, cognitive function, school performances)[2]

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

Neonate and Infant aged 1-18 months.

High risk infants with premature deliveries, low birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, birth asphysia, intraventricular hemorrage, respiratory distress, congenital heart diseases,[1]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

it is a observational scale to assess all neuromotor status done by medical professionals. [4]

Here is the scoring sheet for INFANIB.[1]
