Our group has published two articles in the Journal of Anatomy that contain a similar error (Schoonaert et al., 2007; Van Dam et al., 2009). Both these papers report on segment inertial data. One of the reported variables, the location of the Center of Mass, is erroneously stated as being a percentage relative to the proximal joint. This is wrong: the reported values are relative to the distal joint. Values relative to the proximal joint can be obtained by subtracting the reported values from 100%.

We sincerely apologise for this error, and can provide the full corrected data set in electronic form upon request.

For Schoonaert et al. (2007), CoM values in Table 2 should be subtracted from 100, and we provide a corrected Figure 3 for this article.

The conclusions from both articles are not affected.
