Paul,
Examples of "non-striding bipedalism":

1) Saltative bipedalism (both feet leave the ground during part
of the cycle).

2) Shuffling bipedalism (no feet leave the ground during any part the
cycle). As far as I know, no (healthy) creature locomotes this
way; yet, it still remains a theoretical type of bipedalism.
