Paper Abstract:
|
In recent years, it is known that childrens behavioral disorders are related to sleep disorders. Thus it is important to assess the children's sleep. It is said that there is a tight relationship between sleep stage and body movements. This study focused on the relationship to assess the sleep quality. Hence, we investigated the body movement measurement technique using video analysis. We can measure the body movements in noninvasive and non contact way by using this technique. We applied this technique for assessment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) therapeutic efficacy. We calculated the amount of body movement by video analysis. And we compared the sum of body movement before OSAS treatment and after. As the result, the sum of body movement decreased significantly after OSAS treatment in patients whom OSAS was completely cured. However, the sum of body movement did not decrease after OSAS treatment in patients whom OSAS was not cured. This findings show the possibility that childrens sleep could be assessed by this technique. |
