Unobtrusive Movement Detection during Sleep based on Load Cell Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Changes in the pattern of motor activities during sleep can be a disease marker, or can reflect various abnormal physiological and neurological conditions. Currently, there are no unobtrusive ways to assess the quality of sleep at point of care outside of a clinic. In this paper, we propose an alternative method of detecting movements during sleep that can be deployed unobtrusively in a patient’s own home by using load cells sensors. This subject-independent method uses a linear discriminant function to detect periods of movement in a cohort of 17 patients admitted to a sleep lab. The system yields a sensitivity of 97.5% and a specificity of 99% when compared to technicians’ annotations.

Evaluation of a Multichannel Non-Contact ECG System and Signal Quality Algorithms for Sleep Apnea Detection and Monitoring
Sleep-related conditions require high-cost and low-comfort diagnosis at the hospital during one night or longer. To overcome this situation, this work aims to evaluate an unobtrusive monitoring technique for sleep apnea. This paper presents, for the first time, the evaluation of contactless capacitively-coupled electrocardiography (ccECG) signals for the extraction of sleep apnea features, toge...
متن کاملAutomatic Sleep Stages Detection Based on EEG Signals Using Combination of Classifiers
Sleep stages classification is one of the most important methods for diagnosis in psychiatry and neurology. In this paper, a combination of three kinds of classifiers are proposed which classify the EEG signal into five sleep stages including Awake, N-REM (non-rapid eye movement) stage 1, N-REM stage 2, N-REM stage 3 and 4 (also called Slow Wave Sleep), and REM. Twenty-five all night recordings...
متن کاملHuman Gait Control Using Functional Electrical Stimulation Based on Controlling the Shank Dynamics
Introduction: Efficient gait control using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is an open research problem. In this research, a new intermittent controller has been designed to control the human shank movement dynamics during gait. Methods: In this approach, first, the three-dimensional phase space was constructed using the human shank movement data recorded from the healthy subjects. Then...
متن کاملRepetitive Arm Movements During Sleep: A Polysomnographic Assessment
Sleep-related movement disorders should be differentiated from parasomnias, sleep-associated behavioral disorders, and epilepsy. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard in evaluating such disorders. Periodic leg movement disorder during sleep (PLMS), hypnic jerks, bruxism, rhythmic movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, and nocturnal leg cramps have broadly been discu...
متن کاملRepeated sleep restriction in rats leads to homeostatic and allostatic responses during recovery sleep.
Recent studies indicate that chronic sleep restriction can have negative consequences for brain function and peripheral physiology and can contribute to the allostatic load throughout the body. Interestingly, few studies have examined how the sleep-wake system itself responds to repeated sleep restriction. In this study, rats were subjected to a sleep-restriction protocol consisting of 20 h of ...
