Creating cartoons to represent habitual leg movements

Identification of Literary Movements Using Complex Networks to Represent Texts

The use of statistical methods to analyze large databases of text has been useful to unveil patterns of human behavior and establish historical links between cultures and languages. In this study, we identify literary movements by treating books published from 1590 to 1922 as complex networks, whose metrics were analyzed with multivariate techniques to generate six clusters of books. The latter...

Validation of a leg movements count and periodic leg movements analysis in a custom polysomnography system

BACKGROUND Periodic leg movements (PLM) during sleep (PLMS) are considered strongly related to restless legs syndrome (RLS), and are associated with polymorphisms in RLS risk genes. Various software for automatic analysis of PLMS are available, but only few of them have been validated. Aim of this study was to validate a leg movements count and analysis integrated in a commercially available po...

Periodic leg movements in Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

Periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) are repetitive jerks of the lower limbs. Their occurrence can be isolated or part of various sleep disorders, such as restless legs syndrome (RLS), narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnoea. Dopamine agonists are very effective in suppressing PLMS in RLS from the first night of administration. PLMS are often associated with cortical and autonomic arousal...

Organization of leg movements in preterm infants.

This study describes and establishes baseline data of early movement in preterm infants using a sensitive and quantitative measurement system, kinematic analysis. Subjects were 10 infants born at 34 to 36 weeks gestational age. Spontaneous leg movements were videotaped, and a 10-second segment was digitized to provide kinematic data. The same infants were tested at 3 days and again at 40 weeks ...

Does human primary motor cortex represent sequences of finger movements?
