<p>This paper introduces the concept of motor skew: an inherent asymmetry in bodily orientation and motility that is not a deviation from normal function but a structural condition of lived embodiment. Drawing on phenomenology, cognitive science, and disability theory, I argue that balance, symmetry, and integration are not prior baselines but achievements that co-emerge within directional bias, sedimented postural inclination, and the irreducible partiality of movement. Through close analysis of handedness, posture, and gait, I show that asymmetries are not merely empirical variations but preconditions for spatial orientation and perceptual salience. Where enactivist and predictive-processing frameworks often frame asymmetry as a perturbation to be regulated, motor skew further attests that coordination, coherence, and breakdown co-emerge on an already skewed field of motility. Methodologically, I defend phenomenology as suited to disclose such structures—not as introspective content, but as the constitutive horizon of bodily sense-making. Ethically and politically, motor skew challenges able-bodied normativity by reframing vulnerability and divergence as conditions of embodiment itself. Rather than interpret asymmetry as dysfunction, the paper reorients embodiment theory around skew as structure, developing a non-normative account of bodily difference and opening space for a politics of asymmetry grounded not in correction or restoration, but in partiality, relation, and uneven possibility.</p>
