The results were presented as response (ie improvement, control or prevention), no response and nonevaluable cases in the form of percentages.
This significantly increased complexity in muscle recruitment strategy beyond the activation as pure ankle plantar/dorsiflexors, suggests that co-contractions are likely functional to further physiological tasks as foot inversion, balance improvement, control of ankle stability and knee flexion.
Whether such conversion will bring actual clinical impact to the patients such as improvement in tumor control probability for various clinical sites requires further investigation.
The primary outcomes are a reduction in asthma impairment measured as improvement in asthma control and in asthma-related quality of life, and a reduction in asthma risk measured as a decrease in urgent care events.
In diabetic patients, the effect of hyperglycaemia on coagulation seems to be modifiable, as improvement of glycaemic control among these patients led to downregulation of coagulation activation [11], [12].
The model estimates the net impact of the treatment options on patient outcomes and expenditure, taking account of effects on the incidence of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse events as well as improvements in the control of osteoarthritis symptoms.
The effects of Wii training were seen as improvements in body control during the training sessions but also in daily life: being able to stand for a longer period and having better walking balance.
In our current work, we similarly demonstrated that dietary modifications by active intervention showed positive effects on several lipid profiles, including drastic decline of total cholesterol, significant increase of HDL and borderline drop in LDL level, as well as improvement in post-prandial sugar control.
Added benefits of weight loss will include improved insulin sensitivity and glucose control as well as improvement of other risk factors, if present, like BP and lipids.
Also, in one small study in which researchers investigated whether the serum trough infliximab levels modified therapeutic decisions in the management of AS, no improvement in the control of disease activity was found [ 34].
