Sleep disorders: 3D video monitoring with intelligent software as new analysis option
The usual method of recording periodic leg movements in sleep for people with sleep disorders is to use electromyography (EMG), an electrophysiological method used in neurological diagnosis that measures muscle activity. However, the cables that this method requires can interfere with the patient’s sleep and electrodes can become detached, thereby compromising the quality of the data. In a new study, scientists have now demonstrated that superior data can be obtained using supplementary 3D scene analysis of movements, which is now being used for the first time.
