Alternating leg muscle activation

ALMA pattern • Rapid bursts switch between legs

Educational reference, not a diagnostic tool. A scored event, an elevated index and a clinical diagnosis are different things. Follow your facility’s scoring manual, notification policies and clinical protocols.

Activity alternates left → right → left, unlike the slower spacing of PLMS.
This constructed train has 2 alternating bursts/s, each lasting 0.2 s.
