Gait biomechanics

The part of a stride when the foot is on the ground

In gait biomechanics, stance is the phase of the walking or running cycle during which a given foot is in contact with the ground and bearing load, as opposed to the swing phase when that foot is in the air. Perry and Burnfield's Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function defines the stance phase and its subdivisions from initial contact through to toe-off. The referent is a weight-bearing interval of the locomotor cycle, measured as a percentage of the stride, and it is a different construct from a boxer's fighting posture, joined only by the word's meaning of standing.[1]

Unit
The share of the gait cycle a foot spends on the ground (about 60%)
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Measured as a percentage of the gait cycle using force plates and motion capture
