In addition, relative enrichment, R e, was calculated and defined as follows: (5) R e = n i n t r a / N i n t r a n i n t e r / N i n t e r These two factors were used to evaluate the effect of the function-based method on measurement of functional similarity between pathways.
Grip strength of the dominant hand, as an objective measurement of functional status [ 29], is measured using hand-held dynamometry.
It would have been more suitable to measure neutralizing Ab titres to get a direct measurement of functional Ab following infection and in the presence of matAb.
This measurement of functional enrichment indicates the proportion of genes demonstrating a specific biological function within a broader collection of genes, and serves as the basis of functional enrichment analysis workflows [ 20].
Measurement of functional residual capacity (FRC): FRC is the resting lung volume measured at ZEEP.
Measurement of functional milestones enabled the physiotherapist to assess whether and when a patient can function independently and allowed tailoring of treatment goals to individual patients [ 20, 21].
Most importantly, the measurement of functional IGFBP-3 concentrations was assessed by ligand immunofunctional assay, which measured the forms of IGFBP-3 that are able to bind the IGF ligand.
The sequence started with the measurement of functional residual capacity.
The measurement of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) is considered to be the gold standard measurement of functional capacity.
A disease-specific measurement of functional activity is needed to better understand the burden of illness, inform the design of clinical studies and optimize care.
Accurate measurement of functional improvement in clinical practice is becoming increasingly recognized as essential in demonstrating whether patients are deriving meaningful benefit from care.
