MATPLM1, A MATLAB script for scoring of periodic limb movements: preliminary validation with visual scoring

The MATPLM1 produces reliable scoring of PLMS that matches expert scoring. The standard visual scoring without careful measuring of events tends to significantly underscore PLMS. These preliminary results support the use of MATPLM1 as a preferred method of scoring PLMS for EMG recordings that are of a good quality and without significant sleep-disordered breathing events.
