Spanish term or phrase: triscar
instrumento de evaluación que valora los patrones básicos del movimiento (arrastre, gateo, marcha, triscado y carrera), así como el control postural...
as in:
- Triscado: es una forma de locomoción o desplazamiento que se encuentra entre la marcha y la carrera, presentando características de ambos patrones y que se produce por el apoyo sucesivo y alternativo de los pies. Este patrón posee cuatro fases: (1) fase de apoyo doble antes del primer impulso, (2) fase de apoyo simple con un pie (el del impulso), (3) fase de vuelo en la que la pierna del impulso se queda extendida y la contraria se eleva hacia arriba y (4) repetición de la fase de apoyo simple con la misma pierna que se produjo el impulso. Este patrón, en su estadio maduro, se lleva a cabo siguiendo un movimiento contralateral, es decir, pierna derecha con brazo izquierdo y viceversa y de manera simétrica (mismo movimiento con ambos lados).
I just cannot figure this word out!

De golpe y porrazo la cabaña se había más que duplicado y Eva veía cómo los siete corderos triscaban contentos por el prado, tras su madre, bajo la vigilante mirada del perro, tres días después de su nacimiento como se muestra en la foto de los cuatrillizos.

Watch the lambs as they play and skip in the field for the very first time on this lovely Spring evening. After filling their bellies with their mother's milk they gang together in small groups and run and skip across the field. A lovely scene to behold and makes it all worth while to see them do this...

spurts of movement


Explanation:
Seems that it has to do, in other contexts, with stamping the feet, or a kind of jumping movement.

agree  wendidavis: Excellent! People think of skipping as just with a rope but this totally fits. Can't believe the date of the book - congratulations on that finr and muchas gracias por la ayuda!
1 hr
  -> It takes me back to when I was a ballet teacher and I had to teach 3-year-olds to skip in time with the music, keeping their toes pointed and their backs straight! Not easy, I can tell you! Thank you, Wendi :-)
agree  JohnMcDove: Yes. Perhaps it could be expressed as "gambol" as well... :-)
1 day 7 hrs
  -> I don't think 'gambol' is one of the 'patrones básicos del movimiento'. Thank you, John :-)
