Moving the senses to match the examples. 真面に  is quite rare.

  Comments:
Other comments on [rK] and kanji at the main まとも entry.  Not sure if/how my suggested change here might apply there.

Saw this in the context of an old man who had finally taken a tumble and found himself bedridden.  今までまともに動けたほうが奇跡のです。 Someone's translation: "If anything, it's been a miracle I've been mobile till now". (ie. that his body had been able to move properly) 

Looking into eijiro and reverso, I see several examples of "physically working properly" or "not working normally".  While we have/had "properly" as a gloss in [1], it blends in with a bunch of words that connote morality, not (physical) functionality.

This sense is not at all obvious in the kokugos. sankoku just says 1: しょうめん 2: 真面目・本気.

I'm suggesting this edit because I couldn't understand what I was looking at with only the previous sense[2], and had to go looking for other resources.  (I wondered if he was talking about "having lived an upright and honest life" to that point).  I think a separate sense [3] will make this entry generally more comprehensible.
