Mab2l12 is highly conserved across species and has been implicated in various developmental processes, including eye and heart development. Human patients and transgenic mice with MAB21L2(R51C) mutation have severe skeletal anomalies in their appendicular skeleton. In this study, we aimed to investigate the specific impact of Mab2l12 in limb development.

Purpose: To measure intervention fidelity of the Photo-with-Movement Program (PMP) and to report the findings of the program.

Methods: This study was a two-arm, pilot randomized controlled trial of the PMP. An intervention fidelity checklist and semi-structured interviews were utilize to evaluate the fidelity of the PMP.

Background: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is often employed to enhance improvement in inspiratory muscle strength. However, the relationship between inspiratory muscle recruitment patterns and increasing inspiratory load remains unclear. Furthermore, the effect of breathing instructions on diaphragm activity at various inspiratory loads is unknown.
