15-month-old male had been cruising and just started walking. He has an unusual gait (the physician demonstrated it for me, the investigator). He walks normally with one foot but there is no swing-through phase of gait with the other, the other just stops when it is across from his planted leg (like a half-step). Is that from walking around furniture for so long? I wasn't sure.
