Load Asymmetry

Load Asymmetry is a biomechanical exposure metric that quantifies the unequal distribution of external or internal forces across the body's mid-sagittal plane during occupational tasks, distinguishing it from symmetric loading conditions by emphasizing directional imbalances that may influence musculoskeletal injury risk.
