Assessments Flashcards
Quick way to detect neurological soft signs (NSS) of possible clinical importance, based on motor coordination / sensory integration abilities
QNST-III (Quick Neurological Screening Test, 2nd ed.)
What does the QNST-III look at? How many tests are there?
motor maturity / development, sensory processing, gross/fine muscle control, sense of rate and rhythm, spatial organization, visual/auditory perception, balance/vestibular functions, disorders of attention.
15 Tasks
How long does it take to administer the QNST-III?
20 minutes
What age group is the QNST-III for?
4 - 80+
What does COMPS stand for?
Clinical Observations of Motor and Postural Skills, 2nd ed.
What is the purpose of COMPS?
used as a screening tool to ID motor problems with a postural component
What is the general test procedures for the COMPS?
examiner describes and demonstrates six items for client to then perform: slow movements, rapid forearm rotation, finger-nose touching, prone extension posture, ATNR, supine flexion posture
What age range is the COMPS used for?
5-15

15-20 minutes
What does BOT-2 stand for?
Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, 2nd ed.
What is the general test procedures for the BOT-2?
Comprehensive measure of gross and fine motor skill; Includes 8 subtests (FM precision, FM integration, manual dexterity, upper limb coordination, bilateral coordination, balance, running speed and agility, strength)
What age range is the BOT-2 used for?
4-21
How long does it take to administer the BOT-2?
Full = 40-60 min; short = 10-15 min
What does SIPT stand for?
Sensory Integration and Praxis Test
What is the purpose of the SIPT?
Considered the most comprehensive and statistically sound method for measuring sensory integration and praxis.
What are the general test procedures for the SIPT?
17 subtests in four main categories (motor-free visual perception, somatosensory, praxis, sensorimotor). Need extensive training to administer
Age range for the SIPT?
4 years – 8 years 11 mo
