🚶 The Gait Cycle: The Biomechanics of Walking

Explore the human gait cycle step by step, from heel strike to heel strike, and learn how stance, swing, and double support reveal the biomechanics behind every stride.

This simulator visually steps through the full gait cycle, showing how stance and swing phases, their sub-phases, and double-support periods unfold across a normalized 0 to 100 percent timeline.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

This simulator visually steps through the full gait cycle, showing how stance and swing phases, their sub-phases, and double-support periods unfold across a normalized 0 to 100 percent timeline.

🎮 How to Use

Scrub or play through the gait cycle timeline to watch each sub-phase highlight in sequence, and compare stance versus swing timing as the walking foot moves from heel strike to toe-off and back to heel strike.

💡 Did You Know?

Double support, the brief window when both feet touch the ground at once, is the single biomechanical feature that disappears when walking transitions into running.

⚙ Under the hood

Explore the human gait cycle step by step, from heel strike to heel strike, and learn how stance, swing, and double support reveal the biomechanics behind every stride.
