Objective measurement of human motor activity: a preliminary normative study

R J McPartland et al. Biotelemetry. 1975.

Abstract

Motor activity values have been generated for a population of young adult subjects in order to develop normative values for motor activity levels. Using the large-scale-integrated (LSI) motor activity monitor, day and night motor activity have been continuously and noninvasively monitored for approximately 1 month on 13 normal subjects. Comparisons between measured and self-rated motor activity tend to validate this technique. The results are discussed in relation to ongoing motor activity studies showing definite changes in activity associated with fluctuations in mood and anxiety.
