English term or phrase: vault over
Push off with enough velocity to vault over the planted leg.

The first gait phase is about pushing off and picking up enough speed to vault over the other leg when you plant it.

dépasser l'autre pied
Explanation:
enough speed to vault over the other leg when you plant it
=
une vitesse suffisante pour dépasser l'autre pied quand vous le posez à terre / sur le sol


gait [gāt] = the manner or style of walking

"to vault over the other leg" = when you walk, once the leg in front is on the ground, the leg that is behind moves in a kind of arc above the ground (= to vault) and is supposed to land preferably over the line where the stationary leg is (= over the other leg).

Trying to move one leg literally "over" the other leg as a way of walking usually doesn't end well.

Basics of physiology.

disagree  Daryo: Se faire des croche-pieds à soi-même? Curieuse façon de marcher!

  -> Pas littéralement passer par-dessus/au-delà. On pense au jambes qui se trouvent alternativement en position plus élevée et se devancent ou au corps qui passe au-delà du pied d'appui. Il peut signifier aussi traverser l'espace d'un pas ou faire un pas.
