Abstract
This paper explores the principles of asymmetrical movement, emphasizing the body’s natural division into two interconnected halves—co-joined at the torso and pelvis—and governed by dual hemispheric brain control. The right brain controls the left side of the body, and the left brain controls the right side, creating a cross-wiring system that supports coordinated yet distinct roles for each half. Rather than functioning symmetrically, the body operates through cooperative asymmetry, where each side has differentiated responsibilities that optimize stability, mobility, and force distribution to facilitate movement and survival.
Key to this framework is the idea that asymmetry is an adaptive feature, enabling the body to navigate dynamic environments efficiently through collaborative function instead of mirrored repetition. The paper also examines the interplay between tensegrity structures and hydrostatic pressure manipulation, suggesting that movement originates from localized pressure shifts in the foot and propagates upward through the kinetic chain. This model highlights the wave-like motion of gait, influenced by lateral sway and spirals, as the basis for efficient human locomotion.
Ultimately, this work proposes a redefinition of foot-based movement as the foundation for controlling the body’s structure and tension, framing asymmetry as a functional design rather than a limitation. These insights provide a foundation for improving movement efficiency, addressing common asymmetry-related injuries, and redefining training methodologies for performance and rehabilitation.
