Abstract
Fidgeting commonly occurs in patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but the effects of stimulant medications on fidgeting lack sufficient documentation. The current study examined hand movements of adolescents with ADHD before and after stimulant medication intake using an accelerometer.
