Developmental trajectories of general and breathing movements in fetal twins
Tendais, Iva Alexandra Barbosa; Figueiredo, Bárbara; Mulder, Eduard J. H.; Lopes, Dulcina; Montenegro, NunoThis study examined the developmental trajectories of general and breathing movements in fetal twins.

Results indicated that both general movements and breathing movements followed a curvilinear, inverted U-shaped curve. Developmental trajectories were unrelated wi...
