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

Periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS) are repetitive, stereotyped movements that can
disrupt sleep and result in insomnia, non-restorative sleep, and/or daytime sleepiness …

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

Background: Periodic limb movements (PLMs) have been studied in both community and
sleep clinic populations using polysomnography. An alternative detection method is …

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 …

Abstract Background and Purpose A Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) script (MATPLM1) was
developed to rigorously apply World Associations of Sleep Medicine (WASM) scoring criteria …

BACKGROUND: Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) has recently emerged as a
relatively frequent and markedly underdiagnosed condition in children that induces arousals …

A new actigraphic method by which periodic leg movements (PLM) can be measured is
presented. Data acquisition and analysis were brought into line to distinguish short-lasting …

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

Abstract Study Objectives: Several studies have demonstrated a positive correlation
between periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) and age in healthy subjects …
