Week 4 Chest Sheet Main Biomechanics Program 2023

The document discusses genetic biases and asymmetries in human anatomy, focusing on the mid-stance phase of gait. It details the characteristics of the left anterior interior chain (AIC) and right body chain (BC), including pelvic and ribcage orientations, and their expected testing outcomes. Additionally, it describes the orientations of the upper and lower limbs, highlighting the differences in rotation and positioning between the left and right sides.
