Gait
Gait is the technical term for the way we walk. Gait analysis is an analysis of the way we walk. Many people use gait analysis. Health professionals, such as podiatrists, use it to look for problems in the way we walk that may be causing the foot problem they trying to treat. Biomechanists may use gait analysis to look for ways to make us walk more efficiently. Coaches use gait analysis to help change the style of their runners to help then run faster. Even the forensic scientists use gait analysis to see how likely a particular suspect is to be the one on a video that a face can not be seen – we all walk differently.
