文献对于何时使用腕动计及其在儿科研究中的有效性提供了大量信息。然而，关于如何进行腕动计的文献很少，特别是在特殊人群中。我们确定是否为父母和协调员提供腕动记录训练增加了可以评分的腕动记录数据的夜晚。我们比较了两项针对自闭症谱系障碍儿童的研究，其中一项研究在单点试验中提供了基本水平的培训，另一项研究在多点试验中为父母和协调员提供了更详细的培训。在包含一小时结构化父母培训课程的多中心试验中，可评分的夜晚有所增加。我们的研究结果支持在使用体动计的临床试验中使用教育工具。
The literature has been highly informative for when to use actigraphy and its validity in pediatric research. However, minimal literature exists on how to perform actigraphy, especially in special populations. We determined whether providing actigraphy training to parents and coordinators increased the nights of actigraphy data that could be scored. We compared two studies in children with autism spectrum disorders, one which provided a basic level of training in a single site trial and the other which provided more detailed training to parents and coordinators in a multisite trial. There was an increase in scorable nights in the multisite trial containing a one-hour structured parent training session. Our results support the use of educational tools in clinical trials that use actigraphy.
