| Affected hand-only | Unaffected | p Value (affected vs. unaffected) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMT APB-only | |||
| < 5 | 12 (43.0%) | 3 (21.4%) | 0.172 |
| = 5 | 16 (57.0%) | 11 (78.6%) | |
| MMT FDI-only | |||
| < 5 | 9 (32.0%) | 3 (21.4%) | 0.470 |

Abbreviations: APB, abductor pollicis brevis muscle indicating thenar strength; FDI, first dorsal interosseous muscle indicating ulnar strength; MMT, manual muscle testing; NCT, nerve conduction testing.
Note: MMT was graded using a scale based on resistance only from 0 to 5 (0–1 no resistance, 2–4 decreased resistance, 5 normal).
