abstract = {Treadmill experiments suggest that left-dominant arm swing
is common in healthy walking adults and is modulated by
cognitive dual-tasking. Little is known about arm swing
asymmetry in overground walking. We report directional
(dASI) and non-directional arm swing symmetry indices
(ndASI) from 334 adults (mean age 68.6 ± 5.9 y)
walking overground at comfortable (NW) and fast (FW) speeds
and while completing a serial subtraction task (DT). dASI
and ndASI were calculated from sagittal shoulder range of
motion data generated by inertial measurement units affixed
to the wrist. Most $(91\%)$ participants were right-handed.
Group mean arm swing amplitude was significantly larger on
the left in all walking conditions. During NW, ndASI was
39.5 ± 21.8, with a dASI of 21.9 ± 39.5.
Distribution of dASI was bimodal with an approximately 2:1
ratio of left:right-dominant arm swing. There were no
differences in ndASI between conditions but dASI was smaller
during DT compared to FW (15.2 vs 24.6; p = 0.009).
Handedness was unrelated to ndASI, dASI or the change in ASI
metrics under DT. Left-dominant arm swing is the norm in
healthy human walking irrespective of walking condition or
handedness. As disease markers, ndASI and dASI may have
different and complementary roles.},
