Further Evidence on the Dynamics of Self-Injurious Behaviors: Impact Forces and Limb Motions.
Newell, Karl M.; Challis, John H.; Boros, Rhonda L.; Bodfish, James W.

The dynamics of self-injurious behaviors were examined in 8 adults with mental retardation. Analysis of trajectories of the arm movements and impact forces of head blows found a high degree of cycle-to-cycle consistency in the qualitative dynamics of limb motions, indicating the motions are often stereotyped in nature.
