Is there any evidence of ancient swordsmen suffering from muscle skeletal imbalances?

I'd imagine that wearing a sword on your hip for most of your life would affect your body somehow.

Not to detract from any more answers that might come your way but a relevant answer from a prior question may be helpful. It's a bit more specific to archers though.

Credit goes to u/jschooltiger who had a great response there and a bit below it I kicked in a meager contribution with what I could from my own background medical knowledge.

Hope that helps!
