n the April 2014 issue of JOSPT, the authors of the article titled “Short-Term Changes in Neck Pain, Widespread Pressure Pain Sensitivity, and Cervical Range of Motion After the Application of Trigger Point Dry Needling in Patients With Acute Mechanical Neck Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial” (J Orthop Sports Phys

Ther 2014;44(4):252-260. doi:10.2519/ jospt.2014.5108) incorrectly reported a range of kappa values from another study. The corrected values are listed in the following passage, from page 253: “The following criteria were required for a patient to have active TrPs40: the presence of a palpable taut band in the upper trapezius muscle, the presence of a hy-

persensitive spot in the taut band, a palpable or visible local twitch on snapping palpation, and a reproduction of referred pain elicited by palpation of the sensitive spot. These criteria have been shown to exhibit moderate to good interexaminer reliability (κ = 0.36-0.88) when applied by experienced clinicians.20” We regret the error.
