DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Stereotypy, describing motor behavior that is repetitive, rhythmical, and non-goal directed, is commonly observed in persons with autism and other developmental disabilities. For some children with autism or other developmental disabilities, stereotypy may be a target for intervention. On the other hand, stereotypy may serve as a proxy for other behaviors or conditions, for example, anxiety or mood disorders that are targeted for treatment. Taken together, stereotypy is a long-recognized and important behavior for persons with developmental disabilities. Measurement difficulties present an obstacle to the study of stereotypy, and ultimately, to its treatment. The objective of this program is to provide a tool that quantifies the level of stereotypy in autistic children. This will be achieved through an innovative integration of triaxial accelerometer and radio frequency telemetry technologies. The resulting long-term, free-living measurements performed in the clinic and at the subject's home, will provide objective measures of clinical change in autism treatment.

描述（由申请人提供）：刻板印象，描述的是重复的、有节奏的和非目标导向的运动行为，在自闭症和其他发育障碍患者中常见。对于一些患有自闭症或其他发育障碍的儿童来说，刻板印象可能是干预的目标。另一方面，刻板印象可以作为其他行为或状况的代表，例如作为治疗目标的焦虑或情绪障碍。总的来说，刻板印象对于发育障碍者来说是一种长期被认可的重要行为。测量困难给刻板印象的研究以及最终对其治疗带来了障碍。该计划的目标是提供一种工具来量化自闭症儿童的刻板印象水平。这将通过三轴加速度计和射频遥测技术的创新集成来实现。在诊所和受试者家中进行的长期、自由生活测量将为自闭症治疗的临床变化提供客观的衡量标准。
