Your Walking Has Changed, and You Probably Chose It
Somebody has likely told you that you walk differently now.
A spouse, an adult child, or a doctor watching you cross a room. Shorter steps. Slower. A bit more cautious. Feet a little further apart than they used to be.
Most people hear that and assume it is a malfunction. Something has gone wrong and the body is failing to walk properly.
The research suggests something considerably more interesting. For a large part, you are doing it on purpose.
