Your walk is as unique as your fingerprint and harder to hide than your face. Now governments and companies are waking up to the power of gait analysis
LIAM GALLAGHER, formerly of the band Oasis, tends to stroll with a roll to his shoulders. John Wayne’s slow swagger has been linked to everything from a misaligned leg to small feet. Some say Vladimir Putin’s distinctive shuffle is thanks to KGB weapons training that encouraged operatives to dampen the swing of one arm to keep it closer to their gun.
Considering that walking is such an everyday function of a bipedal species, it is incredible that we find so many different ways to do it. Perhaps that’s why our gaits – and what they say about us – are so fascinating. It takes dozens of muscles working together throughout the body to put one foot in front of the other. These subtle patterns of muscular flexes and strains are highly distinctive, so much so that scientists who study gait increasingly believe they are as unique to you as your fingerprint.

The new IOS 14 adds mobility to the health app. It measures walking speed, walking asymmetry, step length, and double support time.

I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk

As an electrical engineer, I’ve always suspected my pimp walk would get me into trouble with the robots.
Oops. Didn’t see the Gif the first time.
Has he come out in public since?
I found it odd that he just exited a bus. But I suppose they have not released that information.
Having worked in a clean room where everyone wore baggy “bunny suits” that hid their faces and much of their body shape, I can tell how remarkably easy it becomes to recognize people by how they move and walk.
lol on the first gif- going to the school of silly walks as we speak
“And when I walk the streets
Kings and Queens step aside...”
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin’?
‘Cause she knew what she was doin’
Told me how to walk this way
She told me to
“Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way”
Just give me a kiss
