Rules for Walking.

To the Editor:
In walking. the body never entirely quits ~
ground. the heel OF the advanced foot touching
the ground In each step before the toe Of the rear
foot leaves It. The advanced limb supports the
body. while the rear foot propels 1t. Suppose .
man to be standing with his heels together and
he be now made to take some steps. starting
with the left foot. then the motions Will be the
following: The body is inclined forward. BY this
means the centre OF gravity would fall In front
OF the base formed by the feet II the left limb
were not raised and the foot thrown forward.
The toes Just clear the ground and the heel 10
made to touch the ground first. This prevents
the body from falling. Meanwhile the right leg
Is Strengthened and the heel raised. When the
heel of the left foot touches the ground. nothing
in the right foot but the big toe is in contact
with 1t. This member serves as the propeller.
The step is now complete and the work Of each
limb is exchanged for the next step and so on.
The cause Of waddling Is the inability OF persons
to bring the leg forward in a straight line. but By
force OF habit they describe a semicircis with
their legs at each step. MED. 90
