几十年的经验观察已经确立了体动记录仪的有效性，主要是在没有睡眠障碍的个人。迄今为止遇到的方法学问题，再加上广泛使用的腕动计信号的需要集中努力，建立一个共识，评分程序。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，进行了两项验证研究：一项针对无睡眠障碍的个体，另一项针对诊断为失眠的患者。这两项研究使用Actigraph数据分析软件作为评分方法的结果表明，所述系统相当精确。它可用于不同功能和操作模式的活动记录仪，适用于失眠患者。这些发现证实了以前的研究表明，体动仪是一个有效的工具，用于评估睡眠和觉醒。
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.
