Parabolic: locomotion, locomotion is hindlimb dominated with center of gravity closer to the hindlimbs. What distinguishes a human from other primates: bipedalism, stance phase, contact. All parts of foot are flat: proulsion. Ball of foot/toes touching floor: swing phase, toe-off. Toe is completely off the floor and swinging : heel strike.
