In this paper, I will be discussing the equine genetic disease Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HYPP) or Impressive Syndrome. I will share the origins of HYPP through the genetic influence of an American Quarter Horse Stallion called Impressive. There will be coverage of the signs of HYPP and comparison to similar symptoms found in other ailments. I will explain the causes of HYPP attacks in regards to the abnormalities in afflicted horse’s potassium levels and voltage-gaited sodium channels. In

INTRODUCTION Human gait is a periodic activity and a well incorporated effort of brain, nerves and muscles. It is based on the harmonized action of 28 main muscles to manage the trunk and limbs. This action generates the energy required to oppose gravity and thrust the body frontward. All the individuals have different gait [1]. With a large population of disabled
