Main Outcome Measures: Functional outcome measurement scores of patients who were and who were not prescribed an AFO were examined.
For example, the ligand binding method, which has been held to be a sensitive method for measurement of EGFR, measures functional properties and the technique concentrates on membranous proteins only (Yoshida et al, 1997).
The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) [ 20] measures functional disability in different areas of daily functioning.
Main Outcome Measures: Functional Independence Measure™ (FIM), Mattis Dementia Rating Scale, Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination.
Main Outcome Measures: Functional status and rate of functional improvement (gain) as measured by the FIM™ instrument and FIM efficiency.
Main Outcome Measures: Functional Walking Handicap Scale, soleus Hmax:Mmax ratio, and the ankle joint's angle of displacement.
Main Outcome Measures: Functional Rating Score (FRS) from the Wolf Motor Function Test and bilateral grip strength measured by dynamometry.
Main Outcome Measures: Functional Ambulation Category Scale, gait speed, walking distance, gait energy expenditure, and gait energy cost.
Main Outcome Measures: Functional outcome measures were the Communicative Abilities in Daily Living (CADL) test and subtests from standardized aphasia assessment.
Hardware flexibility (system components' adaptability to protocol variations) of automation systems is addressed through the introduction of three main parametric flexibility measures functional, structural, and throughput.
Main Outcome Measures: Functional ability measured with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (pain and disability scales), clinical locomotor tests, and laboratory gait evaluation.
