“…For more than 20 yrs, many experiments have been carried out using instruments to measure motor activity. Among the devices used were electromagnetic movement 900 R-Cammann and A. Miehlke meters (Kretsinger, 1959), photoelectric counters (Ellis & Pryer, 1959), telemetric devices (Herron & Ramsden, 1967), ultrasonic generators (Peacock & Williams, 1962), ballistographic chairs (Foshee, 1958), capacitive-inductive measuring transformers (Rumler, Rische & Sitka, 1976) and pressure-sensitive floor mats (Montagu & Swarbrick, 1974). Recently, ambulatory microcomputers have also been used by several authors (Borbely, Neuhaus, Mattmann & Waser, 1981;Zeanah, Korner, Berkowitz & Linden, 1985).…”

All non-task-related body movements during school hours were listed in 11 normally active and 12 hyperactive boys. The mean number of movements was 48 +/- 7 per 45 minutes in the normal actives and 79 +/- 16 per 45 minutes in the hyperactives. The rather monotonous increment and decrement of motor activity during the 4-hr registration period was noticed only in hyperactive boys. These results could be a consequence of a circadian rhythm, as there was independence of type of school hours and of teacher personality. The cyclical level of activity in hyperactive boys was sometimes in the range of the normal actives.
