You can tell when you're watching someone walk if they got fired from their job, if they got promoted, if they're sad, if they're happy.

It's this almost fingerprint.

It's a uniqueness.

But there's ways that we can be efficient with gait.

And that's what we want to really try to make happen, because as human beings, we were designed to be a biped, walk on two feet, and walk for long distances.

One of the, I think, most interesting things that I was researching was gait speed.

So there's a couple of scientists that actually have referred to gait speed as the sixth vital sign.

So when you go to the doctor and you take your blood pressure and your temperature, if something is wrong there, it's a red flag.

They say, hey, we should probably pay attention to this.

When you look at someone's gait speed, if it's slow, so they can't keep a certain pace, that can be a predictor of things like dementia up to studies will say seven years in advance.
