What muscular changes would a different hand structure require and what would be the benefits?

His fingers can close towards both sides of the hand, meaning that the back of his hand is also a palm and he has a second opposable thumb on the opposite side of our regular thumb (between the little finger and the wrist)

Would this hand setup require major muscular changes? Note that this is a natural trait from his species, not a result of surgery, genetic accidents or magic.

Also, would this different kind of hand be any more functional than regular hands? I tried to design them as a way to make this character more skilled and versatile when manipulating various objects, ranging from a big lance to very small pebbles (and as a way to make the character novel).
