Errata: In the From the Field section of the July 2002, Volume 96, Number 7, issue of the Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness (JVIB) , Susan Jay Spungin was listed as the past vice president of the World Blind Union's (WBU) North America and Caribbean Region. Dr. Spungin should have been listed as the current vice president for the North America and Caribbean Region of the WBU.
The figure captions for the article, “Variables of the Touch Technique That Influence the Safety of Cane Walkers,” by Raoul M. Bongers, Roelof Schellingerhout, Roland van Grinsven, and Ad W. Smithsman, published in the July 2002, Volume 96, Number 7, issue of JVIB, were listed incorrectly. The caption for Figure 1 should have been listed as, Graphic representation of the three measures derived from Blasch et al.’s model. Percentage coverage (A/(A+B))*100, and the caption for Figure 2 should have been listed as, Schematic overview of the idealized touch-technique measures. A = cane length, B = sweep width, C = stride length, D = hand height, E = wrist offset; (F/G)*100 = arc offset, H = tip height, I = angle between the cane and the floor.
