A Correction on
Effects of repetitive peripheral sensory stimulation in the subacute and chronic phases after stroke: study protocol for a pilot randomized trial

by Kroth, J. B., Handfas, B., Rodrigues, G., Zepeda, F., Oliveira, M. A., Wang, D. J. J., Azevedo Neto, R. M. d., Silva, G. S., Amaro, E. Jr., Sorinola, I. O., and Conforto, A. B. (2022). Front. Neurol. 13:779128. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2022.779128

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 1 as published. Three performance measures—Jebsen-Taylor test, pinch strength, and grasp strength—were obtained at three time points: before repetitive peripheral sensory stimulation, after stimulation, and after training. The original figure showed only two time points. The corrected Figure 1 and caption are provided below.

Figure 1
Flowchart of three sessions for a study. Session 1 includes evaluations like NIH Stroke Scale and Fugl-Meyer Assessment. Session 2 involves an MRI and sensory testing. Session 3 requires a month break, followed by MRI, training sessions, and JTT Pinch Grasp evaluations.
