Likewise, difficulty in walking due to arthritis or joint pains (antalgic gait) sometimes resolves spontaneously once the pain is gone. [3] [4] Hemiplegic persons have circumduction gait, where the affected limb moves through an arc away from the body, and those with cerebral palsy often have scissoring gait. [citation needed]
Gait Abnormality Rating Scale (GARS) [1] is a videotape-based analysis of 16 facets of human gait. It has been evaluated as a screening tool to identify patients at risk for injury from falls. [2] and has been used in remote gait evaluation. [3] A modified version was published in 1996. [4]

Gait recognition is a type of behavioral biometric authentication that recognizes and verifies people by their walking style and pace. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] Advances in gait recognition have led to the development of techniques for forensics use since each person can have a gait defined by unique measurements such as the locations of ankle, knee, and hip.
A limp is a type of asymmetric abnormality of the gait.Limping may be caused by pain, weakness, neuromuscular imbalance, or a skeletal deformity. The most common underlying cause of a painful limp is physical trauma; however, in the absence of trauma, other serious causes, such as septic arthritis or slipped capital femoral epiphysis, may be present.

Few things put you in a sour mood faster than foot pain. Whether it’s that dull ache from walking all day, a bothersome bunion or the toe-curling sting of plantar fasciitis, it’s no walk in ...
An antalgic gait is a gait that develops as a way to avoid pain while walking (antalgic = anti-+ alge, "against pain"). It is a form of gait abnormality where the stance phase of gait is abnormally shortened relative to the swing phase. It is a good indication of weight-bearing pain. [1]
