Movement

Leg movements & PLMS

Limb movements recorded from anterior tibialis EMG, scored individually and in series.

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.

  • Series require a minimum count with set intervals.
  • Exclude movements tied to respiratory events per rules.
