Actigraphy movement classification for sleep/wakefulness discrimination
Wrist actigraphy is a simple but powerful technique that allows long term monitoring of human activity. Among the wide range of areas of application, it has a special relevance in sleep studies, where its non-invasive nature makes it a valuable tool in the detection of abnormal behavioral patterns, associated with certain sleep disorders. While the detection of simple trends, such as circadian ...
متن کاملUse of Actigraphy in Neurological Patient Populations
An actigraph is a portable device that measures movement, usually of the non-dominant wrist, to estimate rest-activity patterns and sleepwake cycles. The use of actigraphy has grown over the past decade. Actigraphy has gained favor in the sleep community for the evaluation of insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders, and the device has become an important research tool. As sleep disorders are co...
متن کاملAnalyzing Animal Movement Characteristics From Location Data
When individuals of a species utilize an environment, they generate movement patterns at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Field observations coupled with location technologies (e.g. GPS tags) enable the capture of detailed spatio-temporal data regarding these movement patterns. These patterns contain information about species-specific preferences regarding individual decision-making, l...
متن کاملActigraphy and Accelerometry
Actigraphy testing consists of a small portable device (actigraph) that senses physical motion and stores the resulting information. Actigraphy testing has been predominantly used in research studies to evaluate rest-activity cycles in patients with sleep disorders, to determine circadian rhythm activity cycles, and to determine the effect of a treatment on sleep. The actigraph is most commonly...
متن کاملActigraphy, the Alternative Way?
The gold standards for measurement of sleep and wake are polysomnography (PSG) and the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and will remain so. Both tests are labor intensive and expensive when seen from the viewpoint of the sleep laboratory and a heavy burden for the patient, in particular for children and their parents. Furthermore, the use of MSLT in children is hampered by the lack of reliabl...
