Table 2 - typographical error

Posted by Angelanieuwenhuys on 29 Aug 2016 at 12:49 GMT

The authors wish to indicate that a typographical error is present in 'Table 2. Muscles treated with BTX-A (N = 73 treated limbs)'. The number of limbs that received BTX-A injections in the hamstrings should be 73 (100%).
