Interlimb weight adjustments between the lower and upper limbs relate to inaccurate performance during the lateral body weight-shifting task

Investigation of the effects of support by the upper limbs on performance accuracy of lateral body weight shifting showed that the use of the upper limb and interlimb weight adjustment related to the enhanced central tendency effects.

Inferred influence of human lateral profile on limb load asymmetry during a quiet standing balance test.

A significant level of asymmetry is identified in the quiet bipedal stance of right-handed people, associated with the right-sided bias of the ground reaction force and the angle of inclination to the upright (vertical) centroidal line.

Weight distribution and postural sway in healthy adults

An investigation of postural sway and bodyweight distribution in standing was carried out using the Nottingham Balance Platform (NBP). The aims were to provide normative data for subsequent studies…

Alterations in weight-transfer capabilities in adults with hemiparesis.

A classification scheme that can distinguish between four categories of bipedal to single-limb stance transitions has been established and issues concerning clinical assumptions pertaining to the relationship between static and dynamic motor dysfunction in adults with hemiparesis are discussed.

The results confirmed the clinical impression of lesser weight bearing by the patient on the affected leg, especially on the heel of that leg, compared with weight bearing on the contralateral leg, Consequently, stance stability was impaired.

Lower limb force production and bilateral force asymmetries are based on sense of effort

Regardless of whether humans produce maximal or submaximal forces, limb force asymmetry appears to be related to neural factors rather than differences in mechanical capabilities between the limbs.

A series of studies have shown that sensory input to the hand and arm through contact cues at the fingertip or through a cane can reduce postural sway in individuals who have no impairments and in patients without a functioning vestibular system, even when contact force levels are inadequate to provide physical support of the body.
