Constant or sometime: If the kid can open the hands at will to touch items with a single finger & explore objects i would worry less . If the hand is held tightly clenched all the time you should have him evaluated.That would suggest neurologic injury.

Could be concerning: At one year of age, the infant grasp reflex should be long extinguished. If in the clenching of the fiat the thumb in not nearly tucked into the fist but instead sticking out in between the middle and ring fingers (see photo), this would be of greater concern for underlying neurological disease process.
