Gait (human)

Humans using a running gait. The runner in the back and on the far right are in the suspended phase, in which neither foot touches the ground.
Rear-foot strike also known as "heel strike"

A gait is a manner of limb movements made during locomotion.[1] Human gaits are the various ways in which humans can move, either naturally or as a result of specialized training.[2] Human gait is defined as bipedal forward propulsion of the center of gravity of the human body, in which there are sinuous movements of different segments of the body with little energy spent. Various gaits are characterized by differences in limb movement patterns, overall velocity, forces, kinetic and potential energy cycles, and changes in contact with the ground.
