Error in Figure

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 4 as published.

The modification to Figure 4 only concerns the part that is marked with the letter a. In Section 2.2.1. (Unconfined Compression Tests), we explain that with the stress relaxation procedure, the sample reached a 60% compression strain at the end of the testing approach, but as reported in Section 3 (Results), we decided to limit the strain up to 50%. Therefore, we took the stress–strain curve which considers the strain in the range from 0 to 0.6 and, with software for curve elaboration, stopped the deformation up to 0.5 (50%). Unfortunately, while performing this procedure, we did not update the values along the y-axis, which remain those corresponding to the 0–0.6 range, 70 kPa, instead of the correct 14 kPa. The updated visual representation is provided below. Hence, Figure 4 should be updated to have the correct y-axis range of values 0–14 kPa, in part a.

The corrected Figure 4 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 4. Unconfined compression tests: (a) Stress–strain equilibrium curves and (b) normalized stress–time results comparing the different regions (mean ± SD). (c) Initial and (d) final elastic modulus computed from stress–strain equilibrium curves, (e) relative stiffness computed at t = 300 s (median with maximum and minimum values). HP = heel pad; L = lateral; M = medial; Met = metatarsal; p = statistically different p-value.
