The official World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) standards for recording and scoring periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS) and wakefulness (PLMW) developed in collaboration with a task force from the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG)
Open accessAbstract
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 motor events, the use of standard terminology and the definition of some common rules to quantify PLM. However, the current standard for recording sleep is based on computerized technology, and new pathologies have been recognized to be associated with PLM during sleep (PLMS), different motor patterns have also been detected and new sophisticated methods of signal analysis have changed our understanding of the impact of PLM on sleep patterns. In particular, the analysis of the electromyogram (EMG) signal and of the periodicity of the phenomenon provides different methods for the evaluation of muscle activity in normal and pathological sleep. Even small changes in the criteria of detection of the single PLM may have a significant impact on the final results of the analysis by altering the range of the PLM included.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
