Dominant Foot – “Right Footed” The human body is made up largely of paired structures, most of which are not perfectly matched. Stated differently, the apparent mirror image symmetry of the human body (arms, legs, face, eyes) is in reality an array of asymmetrical parts. It is this fundamental asymmetry that leads to the concept of dominance. For example, most people have a dominant arm and hand, a dominant leg and foot, and a dominant eye. For most of us, this choice is made early in life and continues to gain strength through usage. It stands to reason that if we prefer to use our right arm and hand, we will use it more often and use it in a variety of ways, all of which will add to the strength of the right arm and hand and its capability to perform tasks such as carpentry, drawing and writing.
