Postoperative upper airway obstruction after recovery of the train of four ratio of the
adductor pollicis muscle from neuromuscular blockade.
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).

Handgrip strength and
adductor pollicis muscle thickness as predictors of postoperative complications after major operations of the gastrointestinal tract.
Along with these neurological findings she had the ensuing physical deformities: complete atrophy of the left hypothenar eminence and
adductor pollicis muscle, as well as the presentation of claw hand, which is a classic representation of an injury to the ulnar nerve.
Slower fatigue and faster recovery of the
adductor pollicis muscle in women matched for strength with men.

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.
