Abstract

Abnormal motor manifestations in REM sleep are the most visible feature of idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), which precedes the overt alpha-synucleinopathy. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic visual analysis of the motor events (ME) captured during video-polysomnography, and clarify their relation to the disease severity.
