Classroom Testing Heaton 82
On the day of the testing, overall motor activity of children with ADHD was evaluated using actigraphy using a small electronic device (Actiwatch) worn on the non-dominant hand, which is sensitive to acceleration. It records the subject's movements each 30 sec time period and expresses it as motor activity counts. Patients put on the Actiwatch in the morning and kept it until the end of their testing in the early afternoon. The average motor activity was calculated and considered in the analyses as reflective of the overall motor activity of the child. 2ff7e9595c
