Then, when investigating the interhemispheric difference of the “hand knob” width – that integrates the information of both sides into one compound variable – right symptom hemidominance was associated with an apparent tendency towards smaller “hand knob” width but narrowly missed statistical significance in ANOVA testing when compared with all other groups (p = 0.056, not shown).
