    Only part of your gait is determined by its "hinges" (maybe you meant pivot points). Because if the only factor in your gait is your "hinges", then you and everyone else in the entire world would have the same gait. Most of your gait is due to how far you muscles allow you to stretch your legs forward or backward, because without muscles the only deciding factor on your gait would be the length of your legs.
