English term or phrase: gait cycle
Definition from Harvard Health Publishing:
The cycle that the feet and legs make when walking, beginning when one heel hits the ground and ending when the same heel hits the ground again.

Example sentence(s):
  • Single limb support involves progression of the body over the foot and weight-bearing stability. The first sub-phase of single limb support is midstance, which is seen during the 12-31% of the gait cycle. ProtoKinetics
  • The gait cycle can be divided into 2 distinct phases. The weight bearing or stance phase, and the non-weight bearing or swing phase footbionics
  • The knees flex twice during each gait cycle. Flexion rises to between 8º and 9º after initial contact, soon followed by their extension during stance up to about 40% of the cycle. SciELO
