Abstract
A system for monitoring a patient for seizure activity may include one or more detection units. The detection units may include one or more electromyography sensors configured to evaluate a patient for seizure activity. The detection units may further include one or more sensors configured to detect an orientation of the patient and/or when a sensor is bearing a portion of the patient's weight or otherwise pressed against the patient. In some embodiments, methods of detection may include adjusting an algorithm for seizure detection based on a recognition of whether a muscle is constrained or whether the muscle is free to move.
