The Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) is a standardised neurological assessment used with infants and young children to help identify signs that may be associated with cerebral palsy (CP).

Written by the My CP Guide Team, this parent-friendly resource explains what happens during a HINE assessment, what areas of neurological function are assessed, and how the HINE is scored. 

It also explains how HINE results are interpreted alongside other information and assessments, how the HINE can support early detection of CP, why the assessment may be repeated and what may happen after the assessment.
