Fragmentary myoclonus pattern

Brief, irregular EMG potentials • Enlarged 10-second view

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.

  • Very brief potentials occur asynchronously, without a periodic LM sequence.
  • This excerpt cannot establish excessive fragmentary myoclonus; longer NREM review is needed.
