If you've ever finished an assessment and still felt unsure which intervention to reach for first - task-oriented training, Botulinum toxin, casting or splinting splinting - this tool is built for that moment.
The Hypertonicity Intervention Planning Model (HIPM) was developed by Kathy Kuipers (PhD) and Jodie Copley (PhD), both Occupational Therapists, to answer the question that clinical guidelines don't: not what has the best evidence, but which intervention best fits this specific client, right now.
Research shows that when clinicians use the HIPM, their decision-making becomes more flexible, more individualised, and more closely aligned with how expert clinicians actually think.
Enter your email to try out this free interactive tool — three steps, no account needed.
The HIPM Decision Tool is a starting point.
The Hypertonicity Decision-Making System course walks you through the complete clinical reasoning process - the assessment detail behind each HIPM group, worked case studies across children and adults, and the decision-making framework behind every intervention choice the tool surfaces.
