Hammersmith Neonatal and Infant Neurological Examinations Scores in Typically Developing Infants Aged 1-6 Months

The Hammersmith Neonatal (HNNE) and Infant (HINE) Neurological Examinations are increasingly used to evaluate developing neuromotor control in infants at risk for physical disability, but there is no global consensus on score interpretation across the first 6 months after birth. We report scores for typically developing, full-term infants aged 1 month for the HNNE and aged 2-6 months for the HINE. The median HNNE and HINE scores are consistent with previously published data. These normative data can be used to aid in the interpretation of HNNE and HINE scores from infants at risk for neuromotor impairment.
