Using sEMG to Identify Seizure Semiology of Motor Seizures

An American Academy of Neurology subcommittee on quality measures in epilepsy identified documenting seizure type and current seizure frequency in medical records as one of eight quality measurements [1]. Current standard practice for capturing this information is limited to patient and caregiver-reported outcomes, which may include active means like seizure diaries. Unfortunately, because patients only recognize half of seizures that occur, patient reports of seizure activity and motor manifestations are unreliable [2–4].
