Prevalence of Palmaris Longus Muscle Agenesis Among Young Adults
Abstract
The study examines the prevalence of palmaris longus muscle agenesis among young adults, with emphasis on the occurrence of complete absence of the muscle and differences in its distribution between the upper limbs. The palmaris longus is a superficial muscle of the anterior compartment of the forearm that contributes to tension of the palmar aponeurosis and wrist flexion. Agenesis of the muscle is a recognized anatomical variation and may occur unilaterally or bilaterally, making its prevalence relevant to anatomical and clinical studies. The study will determine the prevalence of palmaris longus muscle agenesis among young adults and document the pattern of its occurrence. The specific objectives will include determining the proportion of participants with complete absence of the muscle, identifying unilateral and bilateral agenesis, comparing the occurrence of agenesis between the right and left upper limbs, and documenting relevant variations in the distribution of the muscle among the study population. A cross-sectional descriptive research design will be adopted for the study. An appropriate sample of young adults will be selected using a suitable sampling technique. The presence or absence of the palmaris longus muscle will be assessed using standardized clinical examination techniques and appropriate imaging procedures where necessary. The collected data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage, while appropriate inferential tests will be applied where necessary to assess differences in the observed patterns of agenesis. The study is expected to reveal varying levels of palmaris longus muscle agenesis among the participants, with unilateral absence potentially occurring more frequently than bilateral absence. Differences may also be observed between the right and left upper limbs, although the distribution and extent of agenesis will depend on the characteristics of the study population. The findings will be useful to anatomists, orthopaedic surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, physiotherapists, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the assessment and management of the upper limb. Knowledge of palmaris longus agenesis is particularly relevant when the tendon is considered as a potential donor structure for reconstructive procedures. The study may also provide useful reference information for anatomical examination and clinical assessment of the forearm and wrist. The study will conclude by documenting the prevalence and distribution of palmaris longus muscle agenesis among the study population. It is recommended that standardized clinical assessment procedures be used when determining the presence or absence of the muscle, while further studies involving larger and more diverse populations should be conducted to establish broader prevalence data and improve understanding of this anatomical variation.
