Actigraphy, the Alternative Way? [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2014
The gold standards for measurement of sleep and wake are polysomnography (PSG) and the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and will remain so. Actigraphy is cheap, less labor intensive for the sleep laboratory and gives no burden for the patient. Major features of sleep (time in bed, total sleep time, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset and naps

Using actigraphy to assess sleep characteristics

Acta Biomedica Scientifica
Research points to the importance of circadian rhythms for health; their disruptions are associated with various diseases. This has led to the development of circadian medicine, which focuses on using knowledge of physiological rhythms to optimize treatment and  diagnostic methods.

Wrist Actigraphy [PDF]

Chest, 2011
To record sleep, actigraph devices are worn on the wrist and record movements that can be used to estimate sleep parameters with specialized algorithms in computer software programs. With the recent establishment of a Current Procedural Terminology code for wrist actigraphy, this technology is being used increasingly in clinical settings as actigraphy ...

Actigraphy in brain-injured patients – A valid measurement for assessing circadian rhythms?

BMC Medicine, 2020
Background Actigraphy has received increasing attention in classifying rest-activity cycles. However, in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC), actigraphy data may be considerably confounded by passive movements, such as nursing activities and ...
