Abstract
The authors describe a method that can be used to quantify the reset of activity cycles to spontaneous infants kicking. This method employs a video system to record and view infant kicking behavior, and a digitizing system to track the position of the lateral malleolus through space. Rest and activity cycles are operationally defined in terms of displacement of the lateral malleolus relative to infant leg length. The authors provide the computer software necessary to implement this method, and suggest tat this specific method or a method derived from this general strategy may be useful in this study of human activity and rest periods.
