Differentiation between attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder and pervasive developmental disorders with hyperactivity on objective activity levels using actigraphs

Aims:  To clarify differences in objective activity levels between children with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and those with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) and hyperactivity.
