Current evidence has shown that, overall, actigraphy is an excellent tool for unobtrusive
documentation of sleep/wake activity in normal individuals. However, a number of …

Study objective: The lack of quantitative criteria for identifying insomnia using actigraphy
represents an unresolved limit for the use of actigraphy in a clinical setting. The current study …

Decades of empirical observations have established the validity of actigraphy primarily in
individuals without sleep disorders. Methodological problems encountered thus far coupled …

Study Objectives: To evaluate the ability of actigraphy compared to polysomnography (PSG)
to detect wakefulness in subjects submitted to 3 sleep conditions with different amounts of …

Actigraphy is increasingly used for sleep monitoring. However, there is a lack of
standardized methodology for data processing and analysis, which often makes between …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Actigraphy has become an important tool in sleep research, however, most
actigraphic models have had little evaluation of their sleep scoring software. Some reports …

Objective The aim of our study was to evaluate quantitative actigraphic criteria obtained
using the Actiwatch device (AW64; Cambridge Neurotechnology Ltd., Cambridge, UK) to …

Actigraphy is a method used to study sleep-wake patterns and circadian rhythms by
assessing movement, most commonly of the wrist. These evidence-based practice …

Abstract Study Objectives: While actigraphy is considered objective, the process of setting
rest intervals to calculate sleep variables is subjective. We sought to evaluate the …
