A saltatory form of locomotion in which the body’s weight is transferred from one foot (take-off) to the same foot (landing) as the body is momentarily airborne. It differs from a leap (another saltatory gait) where the take-off is on one leg and landing is on the other. The ability to hop forward on either foot for a distance of 3 meters is typically achieved between 48 and 68 months.
