crabwalk
Belly-up locomotion
Crabwalk describes moving sideways with limbs splayed, like a crab.
The noun names the movement itself; the verb names doing it.
In exercise, a crabwalk is performed with hands and feet on the ground, belly up, shuffling sideways: We crabwalked across the gym floor.
The term extends to any awkward lateral movement: He crabwalked between the parked cars.
