A 37-year-old obese woman presents to the neurology clinic complaining of severe pain in her left wrist and tingling sensation in her left thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and some part of her ring finger. The pain started as an occasional throb and she could ignore it or takes analgesics but now the pain is much worse and wakes her up at night. She is also concerned that these fingers are occasionally numb and sometimes tingle. She works as a typist and her pain mostly increases after typing all day. Her right wrist and fingers are fine. Nerve conduction studies reveal nerve compression. Which of the following additional clinical findings would most likely be present in this patient?
