Description

This study evaluated daily physical activity and sleep/wake patterns in patients on chronic dialysis.<br>A non-invasive and patient-friendly actigraph method was used as a parameter of daily physical activity and sleep/wake patterns.<br>Fourteen chronic dialysis patients were enrolled. The average age was 66.0 years and duration of dialysis was 6.9 years. Controls were 54 individuals without disturbance of daily activity.<br>The patients demonstrated lower levels of daily physical activity and higher levels during sleep than controls.<br>These data suggest that dialysis patients have a tendency toward more diteriorated levels of physical activity and disturbed sleep patterns.<br>Actigraphy is a useful method of evaluating daily physical activity and sleep disturbance in patients on chronic dialysis.
