A method of monitoring a patient for seizure activity may include monitoring the patient by collecting an EMG signal and determining whether samples of signal that include regions of elevated signal amplitude are present in the collected signal. The samples may further be qualified based on one or more properties of a clonic-phase portion of a seizure, and if the samples are qualified, a qualified-clonic-phase burst activity level may be determined. A response may then be executed if the qualified-clonic-phase burst activity level exceeds a threshold value. Related apparatuses are also described.
