Objective To postulate a new possible cause of a unilaterally reduced arm swing in addition to the known medical conditions such as shoulder pathology, Erbâs palsy, stroke, and Parkinsonâs disease.
Methods Analysis of YouTube videos depicting the gait of highly ranked Russian officials.
Results We found a similar walking pattern in President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and three other highly ranked Russian officials, all presenting with a consistently reduced right arm swing in the absence of other overt neurological abnormalities.

Conclusions We propose that this new gait pattern, which we term âgunslingerâs gait,â may result from a behavioural adaptation, possibly triggered by KGB or other forms of weapons training where trainees are taught to keep their right hand close to the chest while walking, allowing them to quickly draw a gun when faced with a foe. This should be included in the differential diagnosis of a unilaterally reduced arm swing.

I’ve noticed Obama walks kind of weird too, but I think it’s because of other reasons.

Or the `pimp limp’.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pimp%20Roll
Type of swaggering, ambling gait with a pronounced bounce and faux half-limp, employed predominantly by urban young black males.
Demonstrated by `Huggy Bear’ of Starsky and Hutch and Cosmo Kramer of ‘Seinfeld’. Oh yeah, and Boy Clinton.
TAS’s R. Emmett Tyrell described Bill Clinton affecting a “modified pimp roll” when heading through a stadium tunnel to deliver a speech, right after the Lewinsky revelations, brazening it out.
Even Slick bought that **** about him being black. Obama’s too gay to sell the pimp roll.

Putin with arm control problems? Didn’t he score a hat trick against the Moscow Dynamo hockey team or something like that?

There is a similar “tell” that police are trained to look for that identifies someone who is packing. They are taking care not to allow a “wardrobe malfunction” to reveal a weapon.

What do you call it when a person scratches his temple with his bird-flipping finger? Sometimes we call her a waitress.
