Timing varies with walking speed
Now focus on the feet touching the ground. Support changes four times during one gait cycle.
0:00 / 1:12
Explanations and references
Timing is approximate for comfortable walking. Movement is a teaching illustration, not measured walking data. Foot placement may slide slightly; feet-adjacent and tibia-vertical positions are schematic.
Learning objectives
