Abstract
Each individual has a characteristic gait pattern, and it is even possible to recognise a person simply from his footsteps. However, these characteristic differences appear to be subtle variations superimposed on a basic pattern and for the purpose of locomotion studies it is the basic pattern that is of interest.
