walking pattern
How you stride
Walking pattern refers to the characteristic way a person or animal moves on foot—the rhythm, stride length, posture, and gait that distinguish one individual's locomotion from another's.
Medical professionals analyze walking patterns to diagnose injuries, neurological conditions, or mobility disorders: The physical therapist noted an asymmetrical walking pattern.
Security systems increasingly use walking patterns for biometric identification, since each person's gait is distinctive.
