Interactive Metronome® (IM)
Assessment Results
• The Interactive Metronome® (IM) is a brain-based
rehabilitation assessment and training program
developed to directly improve the processing abilities
that affect attention, motor planning, and
sequencing. This, in turn, strengthens motor skills,
including mobility, gross motor function, and many
fundamental cognitive capacities such as planning,
organizing and language.
The normative ranges for IM
performance are as follows:
