Using actigraphy to assess sleep characteristics
Acta Biomedica ScientificaResearch 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 ...

Further Validation of Actigraphy for Sleep Studies
Sleep, 2003 Study Objectives: Actigraphy is generally compared to polysomnography (PSG), which has been considered the gold standard for sleep studies. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the concordance between PSG and two previously proposed ...

Actigraphy in the assessment of insomnia [PDF]
Sleep, 2003 Objective: The present study explores the clinical utility and sensitivity of actigraphy as an outcome measure in the treatment of chronic insomnia. Design: Following a screening-adaptation night, polysomnography, actigraphy, and sleep-diary data were ...

Event marker compliance in actigraphy [PDF]
Journal of Sleep Research, 2020 Actigraphy is a versatile tool for evaluating sleep−wake cycles over time in the home-environment. Patients using the Phillips Actiwatch place an event marker when going to sleep and upon awakening.

Actigraphy Reliability with Normal Sleepers
Behavioral Sleep Medicine, 2012 Introduction: Actigraphy has gained popularity as an objective method for measuring sleep in a home setting. We evaluated whether missing data affects the utility of actigraphy for the measurement of sleep parameters in normal sleepers.

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 ...

Indian Journal of Sleep Medicine, 2007 Actigraphy is a methodology for recording and analyzing activity (movement) from small, computerized devices worn on the body. Published reports on the reliability and validity of actigraph measures, although not comprehensive, generally indicate that sleep estimated by scoring algorithms is relatively consistent with PSG-scored sleep for normal ...

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 ...
