Higher scores are associated with better function, with a maximum total score of 116.
Knee function (mSF-WOMAC) scores significantly decreased (overall better function) with a large effect size (pr = 0.70).
A few pragmatic advantages of using L-moment areroach are better functioning with limited data samples, better dispersion, less biased skewness and kurtosis compared to other ordinary moments of probability distributions.
Not being part of the protocol, it can only be used to generate hypotheses, but the implication of a better function with increased ROM should prompt more research, not only in developing favorable implants, but also to look into physiotherapy to improve ROM.
We hypothesized that better LCI scores would have moderate or strong correlation (> 0.5) [ 20] with better TUG values, and that the LCI would correlate at least moderately with the EQ-5D index in a positive direction (i.e., better function with the prosthesis would correlate with better EQ-5D index).
For all the cognitive measures, higher scores indicate better function, with the exception of the NART error score, where fewer errors indicate higher estimated premorbid IQ.
For subscores and the total score, higher values denote better function with the exception of the specific sexual problems (higher score = more problems).
In one study, greater levels of physical exercise were associated with better functioning among people with heart disease over a 2-year period.
Unlike financial remittances, communication with relatives abroad, who generally settle in societies with better functioning states, might induce a process of social learning among émigrés first, and then among their families back home through trans-border conversations.
