List the gross milestone of walking/stairs (~18 mo)
~18 mo: Walks down stairs while holding on
(Variable, not all the time, may still creep down or use other strategies!)
List the gross milestone of walking/stairs (18-20 mo)
18-20 mo: Falling while walking more rare now, runs with eyes on ground

24-30 mo: Walks up stairs “step to” without support
List the gross milestone of walking/stairs (25-26 mo)
25-26 mo: Walks backward 10 feet
List the gross milestone of walking/stairs (27-28 mo)
27-28 mo: Walks 3 steps on taped line
List the gross milestone of walking/stairs (30-36 mo)
30-36 mo: Walks up stairs step over step
List the gross milestone of walking/stairs (36-42)
36-42 mo: Walks downs stairs step over step, true bilateral flight phase running
List the gross milestone of walking/stairs (41-42 mo)
41-42 mo: Runs with reciprocal arm swing, on balls of feet, forward trunk lean
List initial walking characteristics (first 3-6 months after learning to walk)
1) unpredictable loss of balance
2) rigid, halting stepping
3) short step length
4) high hand guard/outstretched arms
5) flat foot contact
6) wide BOS
7) toes turned out/external rotation
8) brief single leg stance (32% of gait cycle)
9) knee flexion in stance
10) 17 falls/hour
List immature walking characteristics (around 2 years of age)
1) occasionally loses balance
2) gradual smoothing of pattern
3) increased step length
4) reciprocal arm swing
5) heel strike
6) BOS within lateral dimensions of trunk
7) minimal out toeing/external rotation
8) vertical lift
9) longer limb stance (34% of gait cycle)
10) greater knee flexion after foot strike then extends toes before toe-off
11) seldom falls
List mature walking characteristics (7 years of age, approximately adult gait)
1) rarely loses balance without perturbation
2) relaxed, elongated gait
3) increased step length
4) reciprocal arm swing
5) heel strike
6) narrow BOS
7) minimal vertical lift
8) single limb stance 38% of gait cycle
What are common problems when learning to walk?
1) exaggerated arm swing
2) arms crossing midline of body
3) improper foot placement
4) exaggerated forward trunk lean
5) arms flopping at side or held out for balance
6) twisting of trunk
7) poor rhythmic action
8) landing flat footed
9) flipping foot (or lower leg in/out)
