Stepping

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general)
I'm really looking to distinguish "stepping" from "gait" in this sentence:

Students are observed to ensure that gait, balance, stepping and other abilities are sufficient to remain safe in travel-based environments.

This is what I have now:

Se observa a los alumnos para verificar que tengan el andar, el equilibrio, la capacidad de caminar y demás recursos adecuados para preservar su integridad física en situaciones relacionadas con la movilidad.

I used "recursos" because I had already put "capacidad". My question, then, is: Are "andar" and "capacidad de caminar" redundant? Does anyone have another option? Thanks!!

Thank you all, but I ended using "andar" and then "equilibrio y demás recursos", because I felt that "stepping" is implied in "gait"

Tienes razón. No sé dónde leí que 'gait' era tonicidad y esto fue hace tiempo.
trufflejus (asker) Jan 22, 2008:
Question then: Wouldn't "andar" o "marcha" include taking steps?
trufflejus (asker) Jan 22, 2008:
Definition of gait Gait: A manner of walking. Observation of the gait can provide clues to a number of diagnoses including Parkinson disease, cerebral palsy, congenital dislocation of the hip, and stroke.

andar/caminar/dar pasos

Tengo entendido que 'gait' es 'tonicidad' no 'andar'. Pienso que la idea es que los estudiantes tengan una tonicidad digamos firme, equilibrio y puedan caminar. todo esto para que no se caigan.

Se observa al estudiante para asegurarse que pueda mantener el equilibrio, dar pasos, que cuente con la capacidad motora necesaria para poder deambular libremente.

gait = andar ; stepping = pisadas / manera de pisar

I think this is more accurate given the context.
