After publication of this article [1], it was raised that there is a missing affiliation for author Timur Nuritidinow. The correct affiliations for Timur Nuritidinow are Sylvia Lawry Center of MS Research e.V. - The Human Motion Institute, München, Germany and the Department for General, Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany.
The Funding and Competing Interests statements have therefore been updated to the following:

Arne Mueller, Holger Hoefling, Matthias Schieker and Ieuan Clay are employed by Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research. Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research provided support in the form of salaries for authors MS, IC, HH, and AM, but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. Timur Nuritidinow was employed by SCLMSR e.V. during data collection. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the author contributions section.
