Decades of empirical observations have established the validity of actigraphy primarily in individuals without sleep disorders. Methodological problems encountered thus far coupled with the widespread use of actigraphy signal the need for concentrated efforts to establish a consensus regarding scoring procedures. Currently available scoring methods show less reliability in clinical populations. To address these issues two validation studies were conducted: one for individuals without sleep disorders and the other for patients diagnosed with insomnia. The results of these two studies using the Actigraph Data Analysis Software as the scoring method have shown that the described system is fairly precise. It can be used for actigraphs with different features and mode of operation and is applicable to individuals with insomnia. These findings corroborate previous research showing that actigraphy is a valid instrument for assessment of sleep and wakefulness.
数十年来的实证观察已证实活动记录仪主要在没有睡眠障碍的个体中具有有效性。迄今为止遇到的方法学问题以及活动记录仪的广泛使用表明，需要集中精力就评分程序达成共识。目前可用的评分方法在临床人群中的可靠性较低。为了解决这些问题，我们进行了两项验证研究：一项针对没有睡眠障碍的个体，另一项针对被诊断患有失眠症的患者。这两项使用活动记录仪数据分析软件作为评分方法的研究结果表明，所描述的系统相当精确。它可用于具有不同特征和操作模式的活动记录仪，并且适用于失眠症患者。这些发现证实了先前的研究，表明活动记录仪是评估睡眠和清醒状态的有效工具。
