The manner in which the upper extremities are used for protection during a fall may exert a considerable influence on the incidence of injury. Here, we sought to determine the degree to which the assumption of sagittal plane symmetry was valid in unexpected falls after a trip, and to quantify the effects of asymmetrical upper...
