gait

In medicine, the way that an individual walks as an important indicator of health and disease. Gait is affected by paralysis on one side of the body following stroke, locomotor ataxia, spastic paralysis, Parkinson's disease, and chorea.

Children usually learn to stand in their first year and they begin to walk between 12 and 18 months of age and an unusual gait may be an indication of an underlying problem, for example mental retardation, cerebral palsy, or malformation of the hip joints.
