The actometer is worn on the wrist and stores the sum of the signals induced by movements in a solid-state memory. If the data are collected at one-minute intervals for example, they are fed into a personal computer and printed graphically after at least 21 days. The method serves for long-term recording of the rest-activity rhythm and its disturbances, and the movements occurring during sleep under normal life conditions. Furthermore, sleep disturbances as well as the effect of drugs on sleep and the results of therapeutic interventions can be objectively determined. Research and clinical applications are described.
活动计佩戴在手腕上，将运动产生的信号总和存储在固态存储器中。例如，如果数据以一分钟的间隔收集，它们会被输入到个人计算机中，并在至少21天后以图形方式打印出来。该方法用于长期记录静息 - 活动节律及其紊乱情况，以及正常生活条件下睡眠期间发生的运动。此外，还可以客观地确定睡眠障碍、药物对睡眠的影响以及治疗干预的结果。文中描述了其研究和临床应用。
