In the published article, Anwar, S., Arsalan, S.A., Zafar, H., Ahmed, A., Gillani, S.A. & Hanif, A., 2022, ‘Effects of breathing re-education on endurance, strength of deep neck flexors and pulmonary function in patients with chronic neck pain: A randomised controlled trial’, South African Journal of Physiotherapy 78(1), a1611. https://doi.org/10.4102/sajp.v78i1.1611, there was an error regarding the affiliations for the authors. Instead of:

In addition, there was an error on page 2. The following paragraph is updated as it was incorrectly formulated:

The original incorrect wording:

Here, n = 34 in each group, Z1-α/2 = standardised level of significance = 95% = 1.96, Z1-β = Power of test = 80% = 1.28, µ1 = Mean in control group = 4.60, µ2 = Mean in physiotherapy group = 5.40, δ12 = standard deviation in control group = 0.84, δ22 = standard deviation in physiotherapy group = 0.59. The primary outcome used to estimate sample size was vital capacity (VC) (Duymaz 2019). A difference of 0.5 in the standard deviation was regarded as a meaningful change (Hislop et al. 2014).

The revised and updated wording:

Here, n = 15 in each group, Z1-α/2 = standardised level of significance = 95% = 1.96, Z1-β = power of test = 80% = 1.28, µ1 = mean in control group = 4.60, µ2 = mean in physiotherapy group = 5.40, δ12 = standard deviation in control group = 0.84, δ22 = standard deviation in physiotherapy group = 0.59. The primary outcome used to estimate sample size was vital capacity (VC) (Duymaz 2019). A difference of 0.5 in the standard deviation was regarded as a meaningful change (Hislop et al. 2014).
