Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the feasibility of early progressive mobility (EPM) for intubated infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and evaluate its effects on their neurodevelopmental skills.
- Conducted in a NICU over three years, the research compared motor skills before and after introducing an EPM program to 32 infants using the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP).
- Results showed that the later group experienced more EPM interventions and demonstrated improved motor skills without any unplanned extubations, indicating the benefits of EPM for these infants.
It is well known that people verbally exaggerate the slant of visually perceived geographical, virtual, and man-made hills. More recently it has been shown that haptic and verbal estimates of slant result in similar exaggerations, supporting the proprioception calibration hypothesis-that similar biases exist in both verbal estimates of visually perceived slant and proprioceptively perceived hand orientation. This seems to point to a common underlying representation of slant.

In Experiment 1 we investigated whether people can accurately identify their own and others' tipping points (TPs) - the point at which they are tilted backward and would no longer be able to return to upright - as well as their own and others' center of mass (COM) - the relative position of which is used to determine actual TP.
