Table 2 Baseline and sixth-month isokinetic assessment results of the isotretinoin group

From: Effect of oral isotretinoin on muscle strength in patients with acne vulgaris: a prospective controlled study

  Baseline Sixth-month p value
Mean concentric quadriceps PT (Nm) (SD)
 60°/s AV 111.2 ± 33.5 116.8 ± 33.1 0.55
 120°/s AV 77.0 ± 26.1 81.9 ± 23.1 0.48
Mean concentric hamstring PT (Nm) (SD)
 60°/s AV 66.1 ± 15.8 67.9 ± 17.0 0.70
 120°/s AV 54.0 ± 12.2 54.1 ± 15.1 0.99
  1. PT Peak torque, AV Angular velocity, SD Standard deviation, Nm Newton-meter. p < 0.05 shows statistical significance
