Asymmetries in upper limb performance are a fundamental aspect of human behavior. This phenomenon, commonly known as handedness, has inspired a great deal of research over the course of the past century garnering interest across a multitude of scientific domains. In the present paper, a thorough review of this literature is provided focusing on the current state of knowledge regarding neuro-anatomical and behavior-based arm asymmetries. It is hoped that this information will provide a basis for new insights regarding the design and implementation of future studies regarding arm laterality.
上肢表现的不对称是人类行为的一个基本方面。这种现象,通常称为利手,在过去一个世纪中引发了大量研究,在众多科学领域引起了兴趣。在本文中,对该文献进行了全面综述,重点关注有关神经解剖学和基于行为的手臂不对称的当前知识状态。希望这些信息将为有关手臂偏侧性未来研究的设计和实施的新见解提供基础。
