Abstract
It is well known that the incidence of hyperactive child is 3 to 10% in childhood population, which is different according to the auther, race, as well as the cultural back ground. As there is no objective tool to estimate the degree of hyperactivity, auther designed a tool to measure the movement of childhood representing by number in given period of time. Measurement of 37 normal children has been done as controll group showing that the mean right hand movement was 475 with standard deviation was + 209 while in left, the mean was 282 with standard deviation was + 187. The wide range of standard deviation was affected by emotional state of subject, place, as well as environmental state of each child. Scores measured in children with hyperactivity such as ADD.H., children with pervasivive developmental disorders and children with epilepsy with hyperactivity were more than double of the normal controll. Author concludes that this movement measurement tool may be useful to assist diagnosis and estimating the condition of hyperactivity.
