7 NPCRA Analysis 7.1 Introduction Traditional analysis of circadian rhythms has attempted to fit physiological indicators to a Cosine waveform shape (Cosinor analysis). Activity-rest data do not typically fit well with this type of analysis, hence the MotionWare software provides the function of Non-Parametric Circadian Rhythm Analysis (NPCRA).
7.4 Non- Parametric Variables The NPCRA window provides a table of resulting Non- Parametric variables with the following meanings: IS (Interdaily Stability): quantifies the degree of regularity in the Activity-Rest pattern with a range of 0 to 1 where a value of 0 indicates a total lack of rhythm and a value of 1 indicates a perfectly stable rhythm.
M10 Start Hour: Indicates the onset of the M10 sequence and provides an indication of the phase of the most active hours. RA (Relative Amplitude): First we calculate the Amplitude (AMP) which is the difference between the average activity level in the M10 and that in the L5 periods. To remove sensitivity to overall activity level, we then calculate the RA by dividing the AMP by the sum of the L5 and M10.
8 24 Hour Average Plot 8.1 Select Data for Analysis From the MotionWise window, use the ‘select days’ option to choose a range of days or use the ‘select all’ option to analyze all days. The analysis window will open automatically;...
9 Nap Analysis 9.1 Overview The Nap analysis function allows detection of periods of inactivity that could be attributed to daytime napping or micro-sleeps. The function provides user adjustable parameters for duration and threshold to detect the potential naps. 9.2 Select Data for Analysis From the MotionWise window, use the ‘select any’...
9.5 Select Max Nap Length Set the maximum period of inactivity required to be scored as a nap. The value should be typed in the format hh:mm:ss. Periods longer than the selected value will not be scored as a nap period. 9.6 Analysis Results The analysis window will show the number of potential...
10 Day Activity Analysis 10.1 Overview The day activity analysis function provides an overview and summary of the activity levels of the wearer during the daytime. It is intended to assist in monitoring of the amount of time spent active on a daily or weekly basis, and the approximate intensity of that activity.
Selecting Days To select which day of the recording to view, note the sequence of small day graphs across the top of the Day Analysis window. You can click on any of these to view that day in more detail below. You can also scroll this selection to view more days later in the recording.
Empty Time The total amount of time when the recording did not take place – such as at the start or end of the recording (for example the difference between 00:00 and the start time or the end time and 24:00).
Page 51
counts are within an acceptable range. These can be selected as alternative calibration values but they may not reflect the values of a brisk walk and should be used with caution. Calibration periods can also be selected manually by dragging the mouse cursor over a period on the activity graph, or by entering fixed values in the thresholds fields [4].
Page 52
Definition Physical activity includes everyday activity such as walking and cycling to get from A to B, work-related activity, housework, DIY and gardening. It also includes recreational activities such as working out in a gym, dancing, or playing active games, as well as organised and competitive sport. (See the Chief Medical Officers' [CMOs'] report.) National recommendations...
10.4 Weekly Summary The Weekly Summary window can be opened through the Tools menu of the Day Analysis window. It shows a graph of the wearer’s activity levels over a single week at once: Selecting a Week The available weeks can be scrolled through in the first graphic of the Weekly Summary window.
day of the selected week. You can see both how the time each day compares to the target time illustrated by the black line, and how it varies across the week. For instance, the graphic above clearly shows that whilst the target for moderate activity was missed during most of the week, the wearer was then very active on Saturday.
10.5 Totals & Averages The Totals & Averages window can be opened through the Tools menu of the Day Analysis window. This window is designed to illustrate the variation of activity over the full length of the recording. The upper graph shows the changes between weeks, and the lower graph shows the average variation within weeks.
