The symmetry angle: A novel, robust method of quantifying asymmetry

Does Interlimb Knee Symmetry Exist After Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty?

“…Asymmetrical interlimb kinematics displayed during locomotion have been associated with pathological gait [36]. Knee abduction/adduction kinematics of an UKA limb have been correlated with mechanical wear on arthroplasty components [32].…”

Assessment of Gait Symmetry and Gait Normality Using Inertial Sensors: In-Lab and In-Situ Evaluation

“…[20], [21]. Although discrete symmetry indices have been shown useful, a more informative measure of symmetry may be obtained using the entire continuous sensor data.…”

Biomechanical analysis of cross on training and competition

“…Even under this condition, the asymmetric force curves were not presented (ZIFCHOCK et al, 2008). Therefore, does the gymnasts asymmetry on cross come from their intrinsic upper limbs/shoulder strength asymmetry?…”

“…There is some evidence that bilateral imbalances in strength, structure, or gait mechanics may contribute to increased injury risk on one side of a runner's body (ZIFCHOCK et al, 2008). Biomechanical asymmetry provides useful information regarding performance, injury and methods of data collection (EXELL et al, 2012a(EXELL et al, , 2012b(EXELL et al, , 2012c.…”

“…Asymmetry has been identified as increasing injury potential of one limb over the other DAVIS;HAMILL, 2006). Recent research has developed methods of asymmetry quantification and applied these methods to the analysis of different sports (EXELL et al, 2012b;2012c).…”
