We would like to make the following corrections of our paper (Int J Biol Sci 2009; 5:647-658)¹.

On Page 649, the sentence “Mckenzie in 1981 first described the centralization phenomenon, which consists of pain in the central line of the spine upon lateral movement” should be replaced by “McKenzie in 1981 first defined the centralization phenomenon as a rapid change in the location of pain from a distal or peripheral location to a more proximal or central position”.

The following Table A corrects the row of “Donelson R et al.” (the first row under heading), and Table B corrects the row of “Laslett M et al.” (the third row under heading) in Table 1.

Table A

Donelson R et al.

Study/year	Number of patients	Type of study	Diagnostic indices	Sensitivity	Specificity
Donelson R et al. [7] 1997; Bogduk N et al. [68] 1997	63	P;C	CP	64%	74%
Donelson R et al. [7] 1997; Bogduk N et al. [68] 1997	63	P;C	CP & peripheralizers	94%	52%

[68] Bogduk N, Lord SA. Prospective study of centralization of lumbar and referred pain: a predictor of symptomatic dics and annular competence: commentary. Pain Medicine Journal Club. 1997;3:246-248.

Table B

Laslett M et al.

Laslett M et al. [10] 2005			69	P;B	CP	40%	94%
	subset analysis	non distressed patients	38	P;B	CP	37%	100%
		distressed patients	31	P;B	CP	45%	89%
		severely disabled patients	33	P;B	CP	46%	80%

We are very grateful to Dr Mark Laslett for his critical reading and pointing out these errors.
