Proper Walking Technique: Heel-to-Toe Gait Diagram #2057030 (License: Personal Use)

The image illustrates two sequential stages of the human gait cycle: on the left, the heel strikes the ground first (indicated by an upward arrow), initiating weight acceptance; on the right, the forefoot pushes off (downward arrow with impact lines), propelling the body forward. This biomechanical sequence supports balance, shock absorption, and efficient forward momentum during ambulation.

Used in physical therapy guides, orthopedic education, fitness blogs, and rehabilitation resources to teach proper walking mechanics; targets users seeking injury prevention, gait correction, or mobility improvement.
