swing phase
C2CEFR level
85/100Rarity: very rare
TechnicalRegister
The part of the gait cycle in which the foot is off the ground and advancing forward.
The foot drop meant his toes caught the floor during swing phase, so we trialled an ankle-foot orthosis.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
