WHAT IS ACTIGRAPHY?
|
|
Actigraphy is the use of instruments sensitive to movement,
typically worn on the wrist, to record activity over time. All
models of our Actiwatch activity monitors feature digital integration,
which is the most accurate measure of both movement level and
intensity. With each subject movement an accelerometer generates a
variable voltage that is digitally processed and sampled at a frequency of
32 Hz. The signal is integrated over a user-selected epoch and a
value expressed as "Activity Counts" is recorded in on-board
memory. Downloaded data represent a quantifiable level over
time. Data may be expressed graphically as actograms or reported in
ASCII format numerically as total Activity counts per epoch.

Actigraphy
provides a means for clinicians and researchers to measure sleep quality
in individuals suffering from sleep disorders, such as insomnia, PLM,
sleep apnea and others. An actigraph can also be used in many other
applications.
Like
all of our Actiwatches, the Actiwatch-64 use actigraphy principles
to record activity information and can be used for monitoring sleep
quality.
The AW-64 is the actigraphy device of choice for diagnosing insomnia and
documenting circadian rhythms disorders.
