Objectives: Several validation studies of actigraphy for periodic limb movements (PLMs)
detection reported a high sensitivity and specificity in restless leg syndrome and periodic …

OBJECTIVE: To compare periodic leg movement (PLM) counts obtained with
polysomnography (PSG) to those obtained from actigraphy with two devices (Actiwatch and …

Background The status of night-to-night variability for periodic limb movements in sleep
(PLMS) has not been clarified. With this in mind, we investigated the validity of PLMS …

Purpose The presence of periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) varies among
patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing treatment with continuous positive …

Objective To compare manual scoring: 1) to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
(AASM) auto-scoring rules. 2) to the AASM and World Association of Sleep Medicine …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is usually associated with
periodic leg movements (PLM) occurring during wakefulness and sleep. The PLM index …

Objective: As a standard method, periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are detected by
means of polysomnography (PSG). Actigraphic detection of PLMS is a recently developed …

Objective Periodic leg movement in sleep (PLMS) is common among patients with
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The PLMS frequency changes after continuous positive …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of a new actigraphy system for
the measurement of periodic leg movements (PLMs). Continuous measurements of leg …

Background The aim of our study was to compare the results obtained by simultaneous
polysomnographic and actigraphic recording and thus to estimate the specificity and …
