Secondary outcomes include WOMAC stkiffness and function domain scores, lower extremity strength and power, functional balance, physical performance tests, psychological and psychosocial functioning, durability effects, health related quality of life, and healthcare utilization at 12, 24 and 52 weeks.
The hydraulic characteristics of pavement, such as pore water pressure, hydrodynamic pressure, and permeability, have a great influence on the functional performance and durability of pavement.
indication of functional degradation and durability of the infrastructure (Track quality index).
When evaluating a reconstruction technique, the factors which need to be considered are the ease of the procedure, its morbidity, complications, functional outcome and durability.

Such a map can offer insight on the mechanical durability of functional thin films.
"We need to find out how long it takes for the connections to become functional, and what the durability and robustness will be," says Joseph Pancrazio, a program director at the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, who was not involved in the research.
This study investigates the durability of functional diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated titanium alloy (Ti 6Al 4V) under edge loading conditions for application in artificial hip joints.
Coating characterization reveals extreme water repellency, chemical stability on long-term contact with water, and excellent durability of functional properties under prolonged abrasive wear and cavitation loads.
