THE SENSORIMOTOR INTEGRATION TEST BATTERY - PRELIMINARY NORMATIVE DATA

The Sensorimotor Integration Test Battery (SMITB), which asses sensorimotor integration deficits in cerebral vascular accident clients, has been shown to be respectably reliable and valid. This paper documents the performance of 50 healthy subjects on 15 subsets of the battery and examines the effects of age, gender, and education on test performance. While most subjects achieved high test scores, the wide range of performance on some test indicates that caution is needed in interpreting client test scores. Age is a more important variable in test performance than gender or education. Age was found to be a statistically significant factor in six of the tests, education in four of the tests, and gender in two of the tests. Possible reasons for these findings are examined, however, data should be gathered on larger numbers of healthy subjects before these norms are used.
