Abstract

Pomeroy VM, Rowe P, Clark A, Walker A, Kerrt A, Chandler E, Barber M, Baron J-C. A randomized controlled evaluation of the efficacy of an ankle-foot cast on walking recovery early after stroke: SWIFT Cast Trial. Neurorehabil Neural Repair. 2016;30:40-48.
During secondary analysis of the SWIFT Cast Trial data the authors identified an error in the values reported in the above paper for peak angular velocity of the knee (Peak knee AV). The error is that the reported values for peak knee AV are misreported by a factor of 7. The data concerned is in tables 1, 2 and 5. The corrected values, with effect sizes and P values where appropriate, are present below:
Participant Characteristics at Baseline.
Secondary Measures at Outcome.
Secondary Measures at Follow-up.
Please note that the P values have changed but the difference between the two groups remain non-significant. Therefore, the interpretation of the data and conclusions presented in the published paper have not changed.
