A study comparing actigraphy and polysomnography in the detection of leg movements was
performed in a group of 35 patients with sleep disorders. Visual scoring used epochs of 5 …

Objective: As a standard method, periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are detected by
means of polysomnography (PSG). Actigraphic detection of PLMS is a recently developed …

Publisher Summary Actigraphy is the continuous long-term assessment of activity-induced
acceleration by means of a small solid-state recorder. This chapter discusses their …

Standard polysomnography (PSG) and electromyographic (EMG) recording of the right and
left anterior tibial muscles by Medilog 9000 recorder was carried out in 10 patients with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of a new actigraphy system for
the measurement of periodic leg movements (PLMs). Continuous measurements of leg …

BACKGROUND: Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) has recently emerged as a
relatively frequent and markedly underdiagnosed condition in children that induces arousals …

Objective Actigraphy. Analysis of sleep diaries may be insufficient to verify a tentative
diagnosis in patients with reported insomnia or suspected wake/sleep cycle abnormalities …

A new actigraphic method by which periodic leg movements (PLM) can be measured is
presented. Data acquisition and analysis were brought into line to distinguish short-lasting …

OBJECTIVE: To compare periodic leg movement (PLM) counts obtained with
polysomnography (PSG) to those obtained from actigraphy with two devices (Actiwatch and …

Background and purpose: We studied the applicability of wrist actigraphy to sleep–wake
estimation in patients with motor handicaps. Patients and Methods: Concomitant …
