A bipedal gait pattern in which the legs alternate doing a step-hop. It is a symmetrical pattern in that each leg does the same thing, but it is a complex gait because a walking step followed by a hop is done before transferring the body’s weight to the other leg that then does its step-hop. The gait has an uneven rhythm as the step takes longer than the hop to perform. This is the last of the bipedal ‘fundamental’ gaits to emerge in children.
