Basically your hips are externally rotated, and this is normal for a lot of people (myself included).  It's most likely  caused by the way your skeleton is put together, and in that case there is nothing you can do about it.  In some cases it is caused by tight rotator muscles in the hips, and this can be fixed by stretch the piriformis muscle (see link for stretch)

An exercise I know of works very well, and it also has a lot of names. Some people call it "foot fire" or "quick feet". It works really well in a group, where someone is standing in front of you calling out what to do next. You stand in your defense position while stepping up and down very quickly, like you are stepping on coals. You should periodically jump so you are facing to the right or left of where you were facing before. The leader person should also tell you to slap the quickly hit the ground and continue the "foot fire".

Sounds like you are subconsciously making up for the slight immobility in your leg. I can understand why it would cause foot pain, especially in the Achilles tendon, since your inertia as you move would be causing you to be hyperextending your foot. It's probably also connected to the knee pain. You may have developed a habitual limp. Anyone who's ever injured their knee or ankle has experienced the same sort of feeling. I can imagine that this feels completely abnormal though, or else you wouldn't have been describing it here. If you have BlueCross BlueShield, I know that specialists are covered without recommendation under "special office visits". You should have an orthopaedist do an xray to ensure that your cartilage isn't developing elasticity and that it's not flipping around a bone or growth. He should also watch your walk and see what habits you may have developed. Do you have a cane? I've learned that this can cause a weekness in certain muscles, causing others to over-compensate.

Because the phrase is relative to your position. Similar to the way your left is always on your left no matter where you or others stand.

we called them knee bends...hands on hips and lower yourself where your behind touches your heels....then stand back up again, repeat.

You don't really need that one.\n\n"The toes, especially the big toe, play an essential role in walking, although a loss of the smallest toe will not affect gait."

ha ha i think i might walk like a penguin and then have a good scrath out of view - what a top question thou

Do you mean walk like you are crippled???\nI guess you would walk like I do in real life...\nI walk with a limp, but I did have back surgery and am disabled for life, so it is no joke...\nWait till you have a disability one day and wish you were well again...

Up and down are defined by where you feel gravity pulling. Usually all you see will be pulled into the same direction as yourself, so everything will appear right side up.\n\nHowever, unless you live on the north pole, your "up" won't be identical to "north". The angle by which your "up" direction is different from north is called latitude. My guess is that you live at roughly 45° latitude, that half sideways. Still feels like upright, doesn't it?

LIFTING YOUR RIGHT LEG A LITTLE, DRAWING IT AROUND THE BACK OF YOUR TORSO, TOE JUST BARELY TOUCHING THE FLOOR IN A LARGE CIRCLE.  AS YOU BRING YOUR RIGHT LEG BEHIND YOU.......YOU POINT YOUR LEFT FOOT FORWARD AS POINTED AND STRAIGHT (OUT FRONT OF YOU) AS POSSIBLE...WHILE BOWING YOUR HEAD TO YOUR SUBJECT AND GRASPING THE CORNERS OF A LARGE PETTICOATED SKIRT, DRAWING YOUR ARMS WIDE TO YOUR SIDE AND OUT.  YOU MUST BOW YOUR HEAD BY TUCKING YOUR CHIN TO YOUR CHEST AND MAINTAIN BALANCE AND GRACEFULNESS. or it won't count.\nClassy

Depends on how you walk. We are actually supposedly supposed to walk heel to toe instead of toe to heel, but basically the body weight being distributed on the feet depends on how you walk and stand.

Check your movement configuration.

ive often wondered the same thing but i guess its where we move our legs contsntly

what exactly do you mean?  It's all your preferance. You can set them duck foot, both feet straight, or back foot straight, or slightly back and your front foot angled a little more forward.  It's all what you like.

Walking is the act of falling and catching yourself, one leg at a time. I can walk until one leg does'nt catch me.

There are actually an infinite number of answers to this old puzzle.  The traditional answer is of course, "You are at the North Pole."\n\nThis assumes that the walking "1 mile due east" portion is defined as "keeping the north pole directly left of you as you walk", or inversely, "keeping the south pole directly right of you as you walk".  Thus when you walk to the east, you simply make a 1-mile arc about the north pole.\n\nAnother set of infinite answers is "any point 1 + 1 / (2 * pi) miles away from the soth pole".  Following the directions, you will walk one mile toward the south pole, then walk one mile east which will take you *in a complete circle around the south pole*, then one mile back north to your starting position.\n\nFollowing this logic, you can find an infinite number of circles as a solution.  For example, "any point 1 + 1 / (4 * pi) miles away from the south pole" will have the easterly portion of the walk take you completely around the south pole *twice*.  And "any point 1 + 1 / (6 * pi)" will walk you around the south pole three times, etc.
