| Summary: | To obtain epidemiologic data of the linburg-comstock anomaly in malaysia and to study the effect of the anomaly on key pinch strength.
Methods:
We examined 292 healthy subjects (162 female and 130 male) bilaterally for the presence of the linburg-comstock anomaly. Each subject's key pinch strength was measured bilaterally using a pinch meter.
Results:
The linburg-comstock anomaly was present in 101 of the 292 subjects (35%). Sixty-five subjects (22%) had it unilaterally, and 36 subjects (6%) had it bilaterally. The anomaly was associated with superior key pinch strength.
Conclusions:
The study provides epidemiologic data of this anomaly in malaysia and considers its anatomical influence on key pinch strength.
Type of study/level of evidence:
Prognostic iv.
