Kick Count Per Hour Calculator
Actual observed movement count normalized by recorded observation time. Not a universal kick threshold, continuous unobserved hourly count or clinical reassurance; concerns need appropriate clinical contact.
Description
A movement count per hour standardizes an observed count by its actual observation duration.
A movement count per hour standardizes an observed count by its actual observation duration.1
It does not create a universal reassuring count or replace the original observation record.
When to use Kick Count Per Hour Calculator
Use this tool to calculate or review the supplied observations under the stated rules. Establish the observation date, units, measurement context and independently applicable clinical reference or calibrated model.
How to use Kick Count Per Hour Calculator and understand its results
- Establish the observation date, units, measurement context and independently applicable clinical reference or calibrated model.
- Enter independentlyRecordedMovementCount, actualObservationMinutes, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result.observedMovementsPerHour. Use the units and sign conventions below.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| independentlyRecordedMovementCount | Independently recorded movement count | number | Required |
| actualObservationMinutes | Actual observation minutes | number | Required |
Require integer observed movement count 0–1000000 and positive actual observation minutes. Multiply count by 60 and divide by minutes; zero count is permitted.
observedMovementsPerHour=60×count/observationMinutes Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Structured result; its nested fields below contain the actual calculation or selected reference | object |
| result.observedMovementsPerHour | Observed Movements Per Hour | number |
{
"input": {
"independentlyRecordedMovementCount": 10,
"actualObservationMinutes": 30
},
"output": {
"result": {
"observedMovementsPerHour": 20
}
}
}Limitations and assumptions
Dating evidence, acquisition conditions and applicable clinical references remain independently established. The output describes supplied observations or a conditional model without diagnosing an outcome, choosing a dose or verifying clinical applicability.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
