antalgic gait
{{Short description|Any form of walking meant to reduce pain}}
An antalgic gait is a gait that develops as a way to avoid pain while walking (antalgic = anti- + alge, "against pain"). It is a form of gait abnormality where the stance phase of gait is abnormally shortened relative to the swing phase. It is a good indication of weight-bearing pain.[http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=671481857 GP Notebook]
