The analysis of repetitive hand movements and behavioral transition patterns holds particular significance in detecting atypical behaviors in early child development. Early recognition of these behaviors holds immense promise for timely interventions, which can profoundly impact a child's well-being and future prospects. However, the scarcity of specialized medical professionals and limited facilities has made detecting these behaviors and unique patterns challenging using traditional manual methods. This highlights the necessity for automated tools to identify anomalous repetitive hand movements and behavioral transition patterns in children. Our study aimed to develop an automated model for the early identification of anomalous repetitive hand movements and the detection of unique behavioral patterns. Utilizing autoencoders, self-similarity matrices, and unsupervised clustering algorithms, we analyzed skeleton and image-based features, repetition count, and frequency of repetitive child hand movements. This approach aimed to distinguish between typical and atypical repetitive hand movements of varying speeds, addressing data limitations through dimension reduction. Additionally, we aimed to categorize behaviors into clusters beyond binary classification. Through experimentation on three datasets (HMW, SSBD, ASD), our model effectively differentiated between typical and atypical hand movements, providing insights into behavioral transitional patterns. This aids the medical community in understanding the evolving behaviors in children. In conclusion, our research addresses the need for early detection of atypical behaviors through an automated model capable of discerning repetitive hand movement patterns. This innovation contributes to early intervention strategies for neurological conditions.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
