Tremor is an involuntary movement often associated with common diseases such as essential tremor and Parkinson's disease, while myoclonus is characterized by sudden, short muscle contractions that can ...

The researchers also analysed speed changes and the smoothness of movement to detect and quantify myoclonic jerks during an active seizure. The scores obtained using automatic myoclonus detection ...

Fast, reliable and automatic assessment of the severity of myoclonic jerks from video footage is now possible, thanks to an algorithm using deep convolutional neural network architecture and ...

A new study shows that wearable sensor technology can be used to reliably assess the occurrence of myoclonic jerks in patients with epilepsy also in the home environment. A new study by the University ...

The severity of epilepsy-related muscle pricking symptoms can be reliably estimated with artificial intelligence, according to a recent study. An artificial intelligence-based tool was used to analyze ...

Involuntary muscle movements happen when your body moves without you intending it, like with tics or tremors. The causes of involuntary movements can be chronic conditions, nerve damage, drug ...

This phenomenon is called myoclonus (myo = muscle, clonus = contraction) and it is basically a short, sudden and involuntary movement of a muscle or group of muscles. You know that feeling when you're ...

Dementia worsens as the nerve cells in the brain become progressively damaged and can no longer function. Over time, this can jeopardise a person's thinking abilities and motor skills. This is why ...

In a pioneering study, from the Expertise Centre for Movement Disorders in Groningen, Machine Learning, a core area of artificial intelligence (AI), is successfully used for the first time to ...
