Highlighted claims
- Bilateral work is useful when a person lacks fundamental movement options on both sides or cannot organize the trunk and pelvis sufficiently for asymmetrical activity. — Movement Asymmetry, Foot Position, and Practitioner Communication
- When both sides are limited, the initial target should often be the bilateral or axial limitation. — Movement Asymmetry, Foot Position, and Practitioner Communication
- The claim that bilateral work often clears asymmetries is based mainly on clinical experience and should not be treated as universal. — Movement Asymmetry, Foot Position, and Practitioner Communication
- Unilateral drills may be too demanding if a person cannot toe touch, squat without compensation, or maintain a stacked trunk and pelvis. — Movement Asymmetry, Foot Position, and Practitioner Communication
- Bilateral lifts can allow greater total force production because both limbs and more system support are available. — Movement Asymmetry, Foot Position, and Practitioner Communication
