There are several errors in the article Iwata M, Kondo I, Sato Y, Satoh K, Soma M, Bar-Or O. Prediction of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in hemiplegia by evaluation of hand edema, published in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2002;83:1428-31 (https://doi.org/10.1053/apmr.2002.34830), Prediction of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in hemiplegia by evaluation of hand edema, contained several errors.
In the Methods section, the mean age was misstated. The text should have read “Thirty-four stroke patients (20 men, 14 women; age range, 43–77y; mean age, 61.7y), who were admitted to rehabilitation medicine at 4 hospitals in Japan within 3 weeks after stroke, consented to participate in the study.” In the Results section, the coefficient for the interrater reliability was misstated. The text should have read “The ICC for the intrarater reliability for 2 CMF measurements, taken 30 minutes apart, was .98 (n 30), and the coefficient for the interrater reliability when 2 raters evaluated the same 30 subjects was .95.” Figure 2 contained an incorrect value. The corrected figure is shown here.
