Actigraphy 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...
متن کاملNonparametric methods in actigraphy: An update
Circadian rhythmicity in humans has been well studied using actigraphy, a method of measuring gross motor movement. As actigraphic technology continues to evolve, it is important for data analysis to keep pace with new variables and features. Our objective is to study the behavior of two variables, interdaily stability and intradaily variability, to describe rest activity rhythm. Simulated data...
متن کاملActigraphy in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
UNLABELLED Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) frequently complain of sleep disturbances such as insomnia and nightmares. Evaluation of sleep disturbances is often difficult due to the subjective nature of the complaints. Polysomnography (PSG) and other sleep studies are generally not indicated in the evaluation of insomnia or nightmares associated with PTSD. Actigraphy, (electro...
متن کاملThe role of actigraphy in sleep medicine.
During the last decade actigraphy (activity-based monitoring) has become an essential tool in sleep research and sleep medicine. The validity, reliability and limitations of actigraphy for documenting sleep-wake patterns have been addressed. Normative data on sleep-wake patterns across development have been collected. Multiple studies have documented the adequacy of actigraphy to distinguish be...
