Brief 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
Detailed Description: Background This study examines muscle agenesis a congenital condition that involves the absence of a muscle focusing on the palmaris longus and plantaris muscles The prevalence of palmaris longus agenesis varies significantly and there is debate about whether its absence results in functional disability or is a predictor of injuries Muscle injuries account for one-third of sports injuries and more than 30 of all musculoskeletal system injuries The presence or absence of certain muscles can influence the bodys biomechanics and therefore susceptibility to injuries as muscles play a crucial role in generating force and coordination hence movement The absence of certain muscles may require other muscles to compensate which could affect the efficiency and performance capacity in certain body areas However in many cases the absence of a muscle may not have a significant effect on performance as other muscles can adapt to perform its function This study seeks to provide clarity in this area of research due to the existing controversy in the scientific literature

Objectives To determine if muscle agenesis influences the development of injuries and its impact on strength and performance

Material and methods An observational analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 132 subjects divided into one group of 66 subjects with muscle agenesis and another group of 66 subjects without muscle agenesis The primary variable is the presence of upper and lower limb injuries measured using the Nordic and CMDQ questionnaires and the secondary variable is upper limb strength measured with a dynamometer in palmar flexion and hand grip tests and lower limb strength measured with a dynamometer in plantar flexion and vertical jump tests The measurements were taken over 1 hour and 30 minutes during two days with a 48-hour interval between the measurements of the upper and lower limbs
