gait [gāt] the manner or style of walking.gait analysis evaluation of the manner or style of walking, usually done by observing the individual walking naturally in a straight line. The normal forward step consists of two phases: the stance phase, during which one leg and foot are bearing most or all of the body weight, and the swing phase, during which the foot is not touching the walking surface and the body weight is borne by the other leg and foot. In a complete two-step cycle both feet are in contact with the floor at the same time for about 25 per cent of the time. This part of the cycle is called the double-support phase. An analysis of each component of the three phases of ambulation is an essential part of the diagnosis of various neurologic disorders and the assessment of patient progress during rehabilitation and recovery from the effects of a neurologic disease, a musculoskeletal injury or disease process, or amputation of a lower limb.antalgic gait a limp adopted so as to avoid pain on weight-bearing structures, characterized by a very short stance phase.ataxic gait an unsteady, uncoordinated walk, with a wide base and the feet thrown out, coming down first on the heel and then on the toes with a double tap.double-step gait a gait in which there is a noticeable difference in the length or timing of alternate steps.drag-to gait a gait in which the feet are dragged (rather than lifted) toward the crutches.equine gait a walk accomplished mainly by flexing the hip joint; seen in palsy" >crossed leg palsy.festinating gait one in which the patient involuntarily moves with short, accelerating steps, often on tiptoe, with the trunk flexed forward and the legs flexed stiffly at the hips and knees.
