Search option Results found in English Dictionary Wiki: Gait is the pattern of movement of the limbs of animals, including humans, during locomotion over a solid substrate. Most animals use a variety of gaits, selecting gait based on speed, terrain, the need to maneuver, and energetic efficiency. Different animal species may use different gaits due to differences in anatomy that prevent use of certain gaits, or simply due to evolved innate preferences as a result of habitat differences.
Example: He walks with an awkward gait because of an injury. He matched his gait to his companions. The gait of my friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingled as he strode. For the past few years, teenagers who imitate overweight american rappers have been walking like inverted pendulums, swinging from left to right, which is the only way forward if you weigh over two hundred and sixty pounds, but completely ineffective if you are a scrawny teenager weighing half of that, since most of the energy is wasted on side steps, not to mention the sheer absurdity of that swinging gait .
