Thumb to palm muscle strength test

The thumb-to-palm muscle strength test is a method to check whether the muscle is paralyzed and the degree of paralysis. The main function of the thumb-to-palm muscle is to make the thumb move in pairs. When the muscle is paralyzed, the thumb cannot be flexed, nor can it be pointed against the little finger, making it difficult to hold things.
