Scoring Limb Movements (L)

Score all of the periodic limb movements that are part of a series and that start in an epoch. If there are more than three limb movements, choose “3”. Use the Scoring Answer Menu and select up to one score in the "Limb Movements" category:

Because not every epoch includes limb movements, the default answer is none. If you have chosen a limb movement, you can clear your selection by selecting the score you have already selected.

A limb movement may last from 0.5 to 10 seconds. There must be at least 5 seconds and no more than 90 seconds between limb movements. There must be at least 4 limb movements in a series. If limb movements occur in both legs they are scored as a single movement unless they are separated by at least 5 seconds. Do not score limb movements that occur 0.5 seconds before or after a respiratory event. Do not score limb movements that occur during a respiratory event. Do not score limb movements that occur during the W stage. Score “none” if there are no limb movements in an epoch.
