What Is the Gait Cycle?

When walking in the gait cycle, the same foot moves from the heel off the ground to the time when the heel touches the ground again. Although blind people have no physical obstacles, due to their visual impairment and lack of spatial orientation ability, they are inconvenient to walk, and their walking ability often lags behind their normal peers, showing an imbalance in gait cycle. Training walking and adjusting the gait cycle are an important part of life skills training for the blind. Also seen in the gait cycle caused by brain disease is not coordinated, called "hemiplegic gait." [1]
