A comparison of polysomnographic and actigraphic evaluation of periodic limb movements in sleep
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 method for performing of multiple-night recordings in an outpatient setting. The aim of our study was to assess sensitivity-related parameters of actigraphic detection of PLMS in comparison to the […]

The official World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) standards for recording and scoring periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS) and wakefulness…
The definition and scoring criteria for periodic leg movements (PLM) during sleep have not changed since 1990 [1] and 1993 [2] and are substantially based on the work carried out by Coleman et al. in 1982 [3]. The aim of the Atlas and Scoring Rules [2] was to provide recommendations for the correct recording of […]

The validation of a new actigraphy system for the measurement of periodic leg movements in sleep
Background and purpose To determine the accuracy of a new actigraphy system for the measurement of periodic leg movements (PLMs). Continuous measurements of leg movements, made overnight, are essential to diagnose and monitor treatment for PLMs. We have developed the Actiwatch with Cambridge Neuro-Technology Ltd (Cambridge, UK) to detect leg movements consistent with PLMs, to […]

Night-to-night variability in periodic leg movements in patients with restless legs syndrome
Background and purpose Although a night-to-night variability in periodic leg movements (PLM) occurrence has been described in patients with primary PLM disorder and sleep apnea syndrome, no study has apparently considered the inter-night effect on PLM index during wakefulness and sleep in patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Moreover, no study has examined the night-to-night […]

Periodic limb movement in a community population detected by a new actigraphy technique
Background: Periodic limb movements (PLMs) have been studied in both community and sleep clinic populations using polysomnography. An alternative detection method is actigraphy. Our aims were to determine the frequency of PLMs, measured by actigraphy in a community sample, and to assess the relationships of PLMs with age, gender, and reported sleep-related symptoms. Methods: Volunteers […]
