The gunslinger's gait or KGB walk is a walking pattern observed in individuals associated with the KGB or the Red Army. [citation needed] It is a standard walk, except with the non-dominant hand swinging freely, but the other in place, near a pocket or a holster, so that the individual is ready to draw a gun at a moment's notice if there were to be an unexpected threat.
Walking involves having at least one foot in contact with the ground at all times. There is also a period of time within the gait cycle where both feet are simultaneously in contact with the ground. [2] When a foot is lifted off the ground, that limb is in the "swing phase" of gait.
Gait abnormality is a deviation from normal walking ().Watching a patient walk is an important part of the neurological examination. Normal gait requires that many systems, including strength, sensation and coordination, function in an integrated fashion.

Stocks pulled back Friday morning as bond yields reached higher. Mixed initial jobless claims data sent the 10-year Treasury yield to a seven-month high on Thursday.
The pose has been linked to damage to the common fibular nerve resulting in foot drop, where dorsiflexion of the foot is compromised and the foot drags (the toe points) during walking; and in sensory loss to the surface of the foot and portions of the anterior, lower-lateral leg. In this context, one doctor has called it "yoga foot drop". [10] [11]
Hand walking is a skill that relies on a prerequisite ability to perform handstands, which in turn requires adequate upper body pressing strength in the deltoids and triceps as well as a heightened sense of balance and spatial awareness. Because the body is inverted during hand walking, blood pressure in the brain is greater than normal.
