| | Horse gait - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Moderate use of this gait by an informed rider may be useful in the athletic training of the horse, but the horse that is still not sufficiently athletically developed to handle the difficult balancing act involved may try to compensate in ways that will be detrimental to its well being and to its training. | | | In the gallop, the gait is like the canter and feels the same, except the three-beat canter changes to a four-beat movement. | | | The foxtrot is most often associated with the Missouri Foxtrotter breed, but is also seen under different names in other gaited breeds. |

| | Asymmetry or variability of gait rhythm can be detected when the health care practitioner whispers "dum...dum...dum" to himself with each of the patient's foot contacts. | | | Spinal stenosis may be due to pressure or tension on portions of the spinal cord in the cervical or lumbar region. | | | Step height can be assessed by observing the swing foot; if it touches the floor, the patient may trip. |

| | A simplified 'gait score' was developed to measure the overall change in the patient's gait pattern. | | | As a non-invasive technique, gait analysis holds potential for auxiliary screening and early detection of knee osteoarthritis (OA), and for assessing knee function before and after therapeutic or surgical intervention. | | | While the post-operative range in gait scores was similar; 9 out of 13 patients showed an improvement in overall gait pattern. |

| | The human body will adjust to the movement of a gaited horse much more readily than the movement of the trot. | | | It is also rather hard on the joints and soft tissues of the human body. | | | The trot has a moment of suspension then impact, which has no natural equivalent in the human being. |

| | To the extent that the concept of static stability has any implications on dynamical gait, one might therefore conclude that no additional instabilities be introduced to the planar dynamics, although the findings of the previous paragraph appear to question this conclusion. | | | Clearly, some sort of control is necessary, such as that involved in negotiating rough terrain and recovering from large disturbances, but the extent to which actuation is needed for sustaining gait remains unclear. | | | We present numerical results illustrating the stability behavior for such a transition. |
