Robot-Assisted Therapy for Long-Term Upper-Limb Impairment after Stroke

Robot-Assisted Therapy for Long-Term Upper-Limb Impairment after Stroke Original Article, N Engl J Med 2010;362:1772-1783. In the Cost Analysis subsection of Results (page 1779), the dollar values given in the first two sentences were incorrect. The sentences should have read, “The average per-patient cost of therapy was $5,152 for patients receiving robot-assisted therapy and $7,382 for those receiving intensive comparison therapy. After 36 weeks, the average total cost (therapy plus the cost of all other health care use) was $17,831 for robot-assisted therapy, $19,746 for intensive comparison therapy, and $19,098 for usual care,” rather than “. . . $9,977 for patients receiving robot-assisted therapy and $8,269 for those receiving intensive comparison therapy. . . . $15,562 for robot-assisted therapy, $15,605 for intensive comparison therapy, and $14,343 for usual care.” The article is correct at NEJM.org.
