Quite "easy". Put a pebble in your shoe, or some scotch tape on your skin. You'll behave differently

That was never proven. Please cite a (good) source or I'll take it to be false

I can't, though I think you could argue about it deductively.

If someone you know well did that, would you be able to differentiate his limp from someone else's? I am sure you could. I think it's intuitive that our "limp" betrays features of our normal behaviour.
