Çocukluk Çağında Aktigrafi Kullanım

Öz

Uyku çocuğun sağlıklı büyümesinde önemli yer tutar. Bu nedenle uyku bozukluğu hem çocuk hem aile için büyük sorun yaratır. Son yıllarda geliştirilen aktigrafi çocuk ve adolesanlarda uyku ve uyanıklık siklusunu ölçen motor aktiviteleri hassas bir şekilde algılayan, el veya ayak bileklerine takılarak kullanılan, istirahat ve aktivite paternlerinin dijital ortamda kaydedilmesine ve depolanmasına olanak sağlayan; küçük, hafif, saat şeklinde taşınabilir cihazdır. İçerdiği mikrosensorların kapasitelerine bağlı olarak değişen sürelerle aktivite kaydı yapabilen ve non-dominant ele takılarak kullanılan bu cihazlar uyku günlükleri ile birlikte, uyku yakınması olan kişilerde uzun süreli uyku takibi amacı ile kullanılmaktadırlar. Çocukluk çağında uykuyu etkileyecek patolojiler aktigrafi ile tespit edilebilmektedir. Polisomnografiye alternatif olarak geliştirilen ve kullanımı kolay olan bu cihaz ile çocukluk çağı uyku bozuklukları kolayca tanınıp takip edilebilir.

ACTIGRAPHY APPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN

Öz

Sleeping is an important factor for the growth of children in a healthy way. Therefore, sleeping disturbances may cause serious problems both for children and their families. Recently developed actigraphy is a small and light device, portable like a watch to perceive motor activities which measures sleep and wakefulness cycles sensitively in children and adolescents, worn on hand and foot ankles, enables resting and activity patterns to be recorded and stored in a digital media. These devices, that can record activities in variable periods depending on capacities of microsensors that they include and worn on non-dominant hand are being used for long term follow-up of sleeping with sleeping diaries of people who complain about sleeping disturbances. The pathologies that will affect sleeping during childhood can be detected by actigraphy. Sleeping disturbances of childhood can easily be identified and followed with this device which can easily be used and was developed as an alternative to polysomnography
