Correction

The patient information sheet accompanying an article on iliotibial band syndrome (https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.l980) (doi:10.1136/bmj.l980) has been updated to clarify the wording of the suggested recovery programme. Thanks to our readers who contacted us with suggestions via Twitter.

Full list of changes:

• Renamed “What is the treatment for IT band syndrome?” section to “Suggested treatment for IT band syndrome”

• Renamed “rest” section to “modify activities”

• Edited text of “modify activities” section to remove any ambiguity about whether to exercise or not during the first approximately 6 weeks

• Renamed “light exercise” section to “gradually restart activities” to better reflect that this section is about resuming usual activities

• Changed timing for restarting activities from “after about 6 weeks” to “as the pain allows”

• Changed “shoes” to “footwear” throughout this section

• Switched order of “make sure to stretch” and “gradually restart activities” section to make it clear that stretches should be done during 6 week activity modification

• Changed text at start of second stretch from “IT band stretch” to “stretch”

• Changed title of orange box from “what happens if it doesn't get better or recurs?” to “What happens if it doesn’t get better or happens again?”

• Removed information about insoles from orange box at bottom to create space

• Moved referral information from purple box to orange box to avoid repetition

• Moved information about diagnosis from purple box to new box titled “using this leaflet”

• Added guidance about how we see the leaflet being used to the new “using this leaflet” box

• Added purple box at the bottom about low quality of evidence

• Added version number and date at top right
