A better functional status at 12 months was associated with better motor and emotional functioning.
Lower scores indicate a better functional outcome.
Accept Z new i if it gives a better functional value.
On balance, however, results appear to show IMN as producing a better functional outcome than non-operative management.
Maintenance of the anterior cruciate ligament and its mechanoreceptors may produce a better functional result in UKR [22, 23, 24].
[20] found that while a power-law was a better functional form than the negative binomial for sexual contacts, the richer Waring distribution was preferable to either.
They concluded that, compared with internal fixation, primary total hip replacement provides a better functional outcome for mentally competent elderly patients with a displaced fracture of femoral neck.
Objectives: In poststroke patients, fluoxetine, a selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor, as an adjunct to physical therapy provided a better functional recovery from motor deficits.
This meta-analysis revealed a better functional outcome in patients with unstable distal radius fractures treated with a volar locking plate compared with (augmented) external fixation at 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up.
We explain this by the fact that spinal cord injury patients may have a better performance status and selective motor control in the extremity, and can more easily achieve a better functional outcome [27, 28, 29].
These different studies report that these patients have a low risk of haemorrhage, estimated at 0 to 1 %, and a better functional prognosis than patients who undergo thrombolysis for confirmed ischaemic stroke [49].
