Relationship of Muscular Agenesis: Thin Plantar and Palmar Long as a Biomarker of Injury and Performance Marker in the Lower Limb and Upper Limb Respectively
Sponsor: University of Seville
Summary
This study investigates muscle agenesis, specifically the absence of the palmaris longus and plantaris muscles, and its effects on injury risk, strength, and performance. Muscle injuries are common in sports, and the presence or absence of certain muscles can impact biomechanics and injury susceptibility. The study involves 132 subjects, divided into those with and without muscle agenesis, assessing injuries with the Nordic and CMDQ questionnaires and measuring strength with dynamometers. Results aim to clarify the controversial impact of muscle agenesis on functional disability and performance adaptation in the scientific literature.
