Once diagnosed, the management of a Stener lesion typically includes an operative intervention since the interposition of the
adductor pollicis aponeurosis prevents healing.
Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess the nutritional status of hospitalized patients by using different methods and techniques, such as:
adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT), handgrip strength (HGS), body mass index (BMI), calf circumference (CC) and arm circumference (AC).

adductor pollicis muscle thickness with clinical outcomes in intensive care unit patients," Nutrition in Clinical Practice, vol.
The patients were assessed in the first 72 hours of admission to the clinic by classical anthropometry that included percentage of weight loss (% WL), arm circumference (AC), triceps skinfold thickness (TST) and arm muscle circumference (AMC), as well as laboratory parameters such as lymphocytes and albumin, physical examination to investigate the presence of physical signs of malnutrition according Blackburn and Bistrian (1977) recommendations and measurement of
adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT).
Vecuronium neuromuscular blockade at the diaphragm, the orbicularis oculi, and
adductor pollicis muscles.
Adductor pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis, and first dorsal interosseus are all, or for the most part, ulnar innervated.
It occurred in a muscle function test that measures how long it takes the thumb's
adductor pollicis muscle to contract and relax after a mild electrical stimulation.
The authors [11] found that beginning at the time of menopause in women without hormone replacement there was a dramatic decline in specific force of the
adductor pollicis muscle, which was not observed in women on ORT.
The transverse head of
adductor pollicis was innervated exclusively by deep branch of ulnar nerve in 77 (96.4%) (Fig.
