Can body position and sleep stages influence motor patterns in periodic limb movement disorder?

•Periodic limb movements disorder (PLMD) has been associated with activation of central pattern generators (CPG).•Position changes may act as inputs capable of inducing CPG activation.•Sleep stages and cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) modulate motor patterns of PLMD, acting as filters in sensorial p...
