I don't know what any of those mean.
@MyriadSims Those are old words; I've not heard them in years. These days they may be considered insensitive terms, though they are descriptive. Bow legged is when your knees bow out to the sides, so your legs look like this when you look at them from the front or back: ( ) instead of looking straight: I I. Knock need is the opposite, the knees point inward and give the appearance of knocking together: ) (. When I was a kid we watched a lot of westerns and it seemed like many of the older cowboys always had bow legs. My brother and I thought it was because their knees got stuck like that from wrapping their legs around the horses ribs while riding.
Now I realize at least some of them had knee, hip, or back problems, or perhaps issues they were born with. I hope no one takes offense at my description of these terms; I am simply answering a question in the best way I can.
Adding these would definitely require new walking animations.
