The goal for treatment of these injuries is to maximize function and minimize complications.
It is important for orthopedic surgeons not only to recognize the risk factors for postoperative periprosthetic total ankle arthroplasty fractures, but also to be familiar with the treatment options available to maximize function and minimize complications.
Supporting autonomous motivation maximizes functioning and well-being [ 22, 37, 38]; this has been particularly well-demonstrated among a range of students, for whom autonomy-supportive teachers lead to better learning and achievement, greater flexibility and creativity, more positive emotionality, and higher rates of retention [ 39, 40].
Instead, for other chronic conditions patients are followed closely by physicians and other professionals over long periods of time, with the goal of minimizing symptoms and relapses, treating complications, and maximizing function.
Although compensations are effective in maximizing function initially, persistent use of compensation over time can lead to biomechanical disadvantage, contracture, and deformity leading to increasing weakness and disability.
Moreover, the theory of rearrangement plays an important role in proving the existence of maximizing function.
We delineated core areas using a time maximizing function derived from kernel analyses (Vander Wal and Rodgers 2012).
Appropriate assistive technology should be provided with training in its use at home and in educational and work tasks in order to maximize function, functional independence, safety, access and participation.
125 Keeping the person with AD safe is important, to prevent injuries, maximize function, minimize stress and agitation, and reduce caregiver burden.
