VERIFIED.
A periodic limb movement series is defined as 4 leg movements with a duration between 5 and
60 seconds. - ANS False
Arousals are scored with PLMs as long as they occur within ____ seconds of the movement. -
ANS 0.5
A series of repetitive bruxism movements is called "alternating masticatory muscle activity." -
ANS False
Excessive fragmentary myoclonus is described as a benign movement because it does not have
any clinical consequences - ANS True
For the leg activity to be considered alternative leg muscle activation, there must be a series of
at least 3 alternating limb movements. - ANS False
In order to score rhythmic order disorder, there must be ___ individual clusters of moments that
are ___ the amplitude of the background EMG activity. - ANS 4, 2x
Leg movements should not be scored if they are within 0.5 seconds of a respiratory event. -
ANS True

, PLMs in sleep are defined as leg movements with a duration between ____ and ____? -
ANS 0.5 and 10 Sec
REM behavior disorder can be identified by a sustained chin EMG activity in REM. The epoch
will show at least 50% duration of the amplitude increase than the maximum amplitude seen in
NREM sleep. - ANS False
The best placement to record movement activity typical of rhythmic movement disorder (RMD)
is over the ____ muscles. - ANS Paraspinal
The minimum amplitude of a leg movement in a PLM series, to classify it as a leg jerk, it must be
___ microvolts above the baseline limb EMG signal - ANS 8
CO2 monitoring, using either end-tidal or transcutaneous sensors, is mandatory in children for
the scoring of - ANS Hypoventilation
Hypnagogic hypersynchrony - ANS Occurs at sleep onset
In a limited channel study in infants, apneas associated with severe oxygen desaturation may
lead the scorer to infer that the infant - ANS is in REM
In children, central apneas lasting less than 20 seconds and not accompanied by a 3% oxygen
desaturation or arousal are - ANS normal
In contrast to alpha rhythm in adults, the dominant posterior rhythm in infants is -
ANS Slower
Infants less than 2 months of age, a distinctive EEG pattern associated with NREM or quiet sleep
and consisting of high-voltage slow waves separated by 4 to 8 seconds of lower-voltage mixed
frequency waves is called - ANS trace alternant
