Gait (human)

Hello there! Do you know how you walk? That's called your gait! It's the way you move your body and walk around. Have you ever watched how animals walk, like a cat or a dog? They each have their own unique gait too!

For humans, our gait is really important because it shows how we walk and move our body. When we walk, our muscles and bones work together to move us forward. We put one foot in front of the other, and our body weight shifts from side to side.

Our gait can say a lot about our health too. Doctors and physical therapists look at someone's gait to see if they have any problems with their muscles, bones, or nerves. They may also look to see if someone has an injury, like a broken leg, that's affecting how they walk.

Overall, our gait is just a fancy way of saying how we walk and move our body. It's an important part of staying healthy and active!
