Abstract: | Metacarpal descent, an indication of carpometacarpal (CMC) joint mobility, was measured in 90 normal subjects by assessing the alignment of the metacarpal heads with the hand in a relaxed posture and when making a tight fist. Metacarpal descent was greater in women. Hand dominance was associated with an increase in positional angles but not metacarpal descent. |
