This study investigates the relationship between abnormal neurologic
findings and periodic limb movements (PLMs). Neurologic abnormalities were
found to be statistically related to the occurrence of PLMs on
polysomnographic study. The neurologic abnormalities may represent a risk
factor for PLMs independent of age.
