This is a very clear demonstration of normal gait cycle. A very good resource for both students, clinicians and lecturers. Thank you.

@kaliq135 they did what took New Zealanders 8 steps in 4 steps - I think its time to adopt and adapt, no? :) Simple learning = Happy learner.

@kaliq135 I studied the gait cycle in the format you mentioned and I'm American. You shouldn't make such bold accusations.

@kaliq135 - the gait cycle can be broken down variously. It does not make one approach 'wrong' and you 'right'...
