Distribution of strength testing for quadriceps and hamstrings muscles for all subjects tested.

N Minimum Maximum Mean (SD)
Quadriceps strength right (kg) All patients 85 0.21 41.40 7.7 (±7.3)
Male 64 0.21 41.40 8.4 (±8.0)
Female 21 0.53 13.4 5.4 (±3.9)
Quadriceps strength left (kg) All patients 85 0.1 39.8 7.3 (±6.8)
Male 64 0.1 39.8 7.9 (±7.3)
Female 21 0.25 16.8 5.3 (±4.1)
Percent of predicted quadriceps strength of both legs combined All patients 81 0.22% 84.9% 18.7 (±15.6)
Male 60* 0.22% 84.9% 17.9 (±16.0)
Female 21 1.78% 50.4% 20.9 (±14.6)
Hamstring strength right (kg) All patients 85 0.1 20.2 9.2 (±4.1)
Male 64 0.1 20.2 3.0 (±3.1)
Female 21 0.33 12.1 7.1 (±3.5)
Hamstring strength left (kg) All patients 84 0.1 20.2 9.0 (±4.1)
Male 64 0.1 20.2 9.6 (±4.2)
Female 21 1.3 16.0 7.4 (±3.6)

N = 60 because height was not available for 4 subjects so percent predicted could not be calculated.
