Wooow! I picked C at a glance but that explanation is key. That’s the thing with NPTE, you must look 👀 well

What a good video and channel. AWESOME.

[@nikitasingh-gn7um]

But for fev1 to be at a higher percentage isn't abdominals also required? And the strength of abdominal muscles would be compromised in a patient with GBS.

Very very true statement! Excellent work Nikita!! That is higher-level thinking right there. The one thing I need you to consider is, where in the question did it state the current MMT of the abdominals? We don't know that information so we cannot assume what they are and are not able to do.
