Summary

Epilepsy is an episodic disorder which can result in recurrent seizures often associated with hypertonia (muscle stiffening) and myoclonia (involuntary muscle jerking). Hypertonia can often occur before full expression of the seizure and so detection of hypertonia could act as an alarm to epilepsy patients and carers in order to prepare for a seizure event. Secondly, a recording device for seizure frequency and duration is a valuable clinical tool for collecting data for clinicians who manage the disorder in primary and tertiary care. The investigators have developed a portable prototype for hypertonia detection using a non-invasive, muscle activated, sensor that records seizure activity. The investigators now want to test this sensor system in patients identified by Consultant Clinician Custodians within the Wales Epilepsy Research Network (WERN). The Epidetect® prototype has been developed by VIKEL LTD™ in collaboration with WERN - a Welsh Assembly funded network.
