What content does the course cover?
The Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) is a standardised and score-able clinical neurological examination that can be used to assess infants from 2-24 months of age.
This training course will be presented by Dr Cathy Morgan, and Dr Cathryn Crowle, and will provide standardised training in the HINE. All items of the HINE will be demonstrated with the correct approach to administration and scoring.
This includes:
• Current evidence for using the HINE for the early detection of infants at high risk of CP.
• Demonstrating the HINE with case examples.
• How to use the HINE to assess infants at risk of CP.
• Score cases of infants at risk of CP on the HINE to determine their risk status.
• Understanding the role of the HINE in prognosis.
