Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Actigraphy (ACTG) is easy to use and has proved reliable in non-critical populations of patients. It has been used to track circadian rest-activity cycles and to identify states of wakefulness and sleep [1]. A more recent study has found that ACTG have a moderate level of agreement with PSG in distinguishing between sleep and wakeful states which is more profound in non-ventilated patients [2].
