You are correct, and the pdf that you linked contains a correction on its last page:

On page 285, in the “Results” section of the Abstract, the value reported as P=.52 for pain limiting activities should instead have been reported as P=.06; the corresponding value should also have been reported as P=.06 in the first paragraph on page 289.

It does not say anything about whether this affects their conclusions.

Argh how silly of me not to see that. I stop reading at the references! Honestly though, it's annoying that the abstract remains wrong.
