– Gait Reference

There is a great body of work and reference already out there Gaits so I am not going to go through them on this blog. My advice would be study the material below and always keep in mind the spine when studying and applying quadruped mechanics. If you find anything more on gaits please forward to me and I’ll put it in the list.

The purpose of this web site is to enable you to recognize limb patterns of the
major gaits exhibited by cursorial quadrupeds (running animals).
