Automatic assessment of the myoclonus severity from videos recorded according to standardized Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale protocol and using human pose and body movement analysis

ConclusionAutomatic quantification of myoclonic jerks using human pose and body movement analysis of patients’ videos is feasible and was found to be quite consistent with the accepted clinical gold standard quantification method. Based on the results of this study, the automatic analytical method should be further developed and validated to improve myoclonus severity follow-up for EPM1 patients.
