Figure 119 - Gait Cycle: Stance & Swing
Each Gait cycle consists of two phases, where both feet are in contact with the ground, called Double
Support: the first Double Support (DS1 in Figure Figure 118 referring to the right foot) is also called
“Load Response”, whereas the second (DS2) is called “Pre Swing”. When only one foot is in contact
with the ground, this is called Single Support.
