Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported errors in Fig. 2 and Table 2. In Fig. 2, CON group discrepancies in the arrangement and SIL1000 group in week4 used wrong figure that led to a misrepresentation of the visual data. Fig. 2 has been repositioned to align with the precise specifications outlined in the original article, and is corrected from:
