Functional factors such as optimal design and adaptive value have been the central concern of evolutionary biology since the advent of the New Synthesis.
Functional factors behind a two-model comparison can, therefore, be confounded with variation in input parameters.
Various structural and functional factors of foot function have been associated with high local plantar pressures.
Various structural and functional factors of foot function have been associated with high local plantar pressures such as limited joint mobility [ 2- 4], plantar soft tissue thickness, stiffness and callosities [ 5- 17], metatarsal length [ 18- 20], the configuration of the medial longitudinal arch [ 21- 24], the presence of metatarsal deformities[ 25, 26] and toe deformities[ 27, 28].
The functional factors in the Katz ADL index, mobility and cognitive function, are functions the nurses were used to assessing and reporting in their cooperation with hospitals and home help services.
However, considering anatomical and functional factors, it's difficult to perform tumor resection in all cases as function could be severely compromised.
A taxonomy of functional factors was proposed to facilitate this study.
Although the protein sequence variations in AT3G32904 could also be potential functional factors of the detected association signal, recent evidence suggested that cis-regulatory mechanisms are the major contributors to GWAS signals rather than protein coding changes17,18.
Here, we try to bridge this gap by outlining the relevance of functional factors in evo-devo.
Implant-related structural and functional factors, as well as patient-specific factors, govern the features of osteogenesis.
The pathogenesis of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing undoubtedly involves complex interactions between anatomical or structural and functional factors, an airway prone to collapse and deficient neuromuscular compensation.
