Popis: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) in detecting motor developmental delay in preterm infants. Material and methods: The present study was conducted on 30 infants born preterm with corrected age of 2 months and follow up of TIMP at 4 months corrected age and Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) at 2, 4 and 6 months corrected age. Study period was January 2012 to December 2015. Results: Pearson product moment correlation coefficient used to assess the relationship between the raw scores of TIMP and AIMS percentilerank at corrected age of 2 and 4 months, was 0.757 (p
