GAIT

Human locomotion or gait, may describe as a translatory progression of the body as a whole, produced by coordinated, rotatory movements of the body segments. The alternating movements of the lower extremities essentially support and carry along the head, arms and trunk. Walking is probably the most comprehensively studied of all human movements and the variety of technologies, coupled with the diversity of disciplinary persperctives has produced a complex and sometimes daunting literature.
