Correction to: Health efficacy of electrically operated automated massage on muscle properties, peripheral circulation, and physio-psychological variables: a narrative review

Abstract

The authors would like to apologize for failing to make proper attribution to texts in the original article. The citation of information adapted from Kerautret et al. [55] was mistakenly overlooked on certain pages and has been corrected as follows.On page 1-2: "The effects are nonetheless furthered and aggravated through overuse of computers and smartphone alike, which consequently lead toward postural deformity, neck and shoulder pain as evidenced by research, and when prolonged and recurred, these habits gradually degrade our overall health. [55]"On page 3-4: "The authors' approach to unilateral and bilateral temporomandibular disorder was targeted to a specific population, highly technical and very expensive. Other studies on investigating the robotic massage effects on masseter and temporal muscles had varying degrees of pressure exerted, which ranged from 100 g to 1.5 kg per square area [2, 3, 20, 23, 46, 60]. The most effective outcome was derived at approx. 800 g on small facial muscles. The authors further reported that the robotic massage decreased muscle pain and promoted functional motor recovery in patients. [55]"On page 17-18: "In such cases, these autonomous devices can administer simple massage techniques at a limited scale for preventive measures. Complex maneuvers such as stretching, strengthening and joint mobilization, which cannot be performed by robotic devices, can be administered by a professional therapist; thus, providing compounding benefits.[55]"
