I can think of two possible reasons why. One is that with the left leg in place you have greatest stability, because the leg is next to the bannister, and therefore it’s the best time to move the left hand forward. The second is that the left hand can’t move downwards and so moves forwards when …

My only question, since you have noticed this particular gait, is have you tried to deliberately alter it and recorded the sensations noticed?

roughy, just gave it a try, and had to think about it, but could do it, but it then got me confused with my “normal” gait when I reverted to it, glad I gave up the booze about 10 years ago or I may have broken my neck.
