Human gait is the way how a human can move in biped position, in which bipodal and
monopodal supports are present and requires a development process and automation.
It is necessary to understand the bases of this process and that is the objective of
the present work. Information from database PUBMED as well as historical articles,
texts and references cited in public published papers to date were analyzed. Pertinent
information related with the objectives proposed in the present review was found andanalyzed. It was then divided into three sections as follows: gait development, normal
gait, and characteristics of gait which influence the gravity center line. It can be concluded
that the human gait is a locomotion process which presents efficiency and functionality,
then each individual present a determined pattern when walking, performing the
minimal effort and lesser energy expenditure with an adequate stability and propulsion.
The gait pattern is acquired in childhood and after practicing, the neurosensory system
converts it in an adaptation process generating repetitive commands of motor controls,
which permit to the individual to walk without a conscious effort.
