Detailed explanation-1: -Normal Gait Mature gait has reciprocal arm-swing and heel strike with increased velocity, cadence, step length, single-limb stance time, and ratio of pelvis span to ankle spread when both feet are on the ground, due to increased stability and limb length.

Detailed explanation-2: –The knee also experiences two phases of flexion and extension in each gait cycle (Fig 13-7.). Beginning in full extension (or flexed 5 degrees), it rapidly flexes to 15 degrees. Then it progressively extends to neutral. With the onset of double stance, it again begins to flex.
