Ambulatory means a person is able to stand from a chair or bed at will or with some assistance, and walk independently.

Gait refers to the qualities of walking. Example: The woman had a wide set, unsteady gait.

Pace is also related to characteristics of walking. Example: He kept a slow, plodding pace.

Pivot / Pivoting has to do with an Assisted Transfer in which, with help, a patient has to turn their feet and body in order to sit on a different surface. Example: The nursing assistant helped the patient stand from the bed, pivot, and sit down in a chair.
