Telling states apart2

  • Mobility recovery helps immunity through completed care and continued support

    Where this hypothesis actsDuring convalescence when visible mobility improves before immune recovery is complete

    What is proposedDistinguish visible mobility recovery from unresolved immune impairment and care needs

    With whatChange of environment or regimen

    HowUse an explicit task-ownership and recovery-status communication protocol to allocate assistance by unresolved care tasks and immune recovery

    Possible resultPossible prevention of premature assistance withdrawal, greater care completion and shorter immune recovery

  • Genuine recovery leaves no extra treatment-history damage within the tested procedure class

    Where this hypothesis actsRecipients assessed for recovery between repeated procedures within the tested procedure class

    What is proposedDistinguish genuine recovery from noisy recovery thresholds and survivor selection effects

    With whatInstrument or assay

    HowUse repeated recovery measurements in randomized schedules analyzed from the first attempt, accounting for age, delivered insult, death and non-recovery

    Possible resultExpected additional treatment history effect within a prespecified clinically negligible equivalence margin
