Why do a 3D analysis of the gait?

There's a weekly live show called PodChatLive for the continuing professional development and education of Podiatry practitioners and various physicians which may be interested in the foot and associated issues. It is sent out live on Facebook and after that it is modified to enhance the quality and then uploaded to YouTube in order to reach a wider viewership. Each stream includes a different guest or number of guests to discuss a unique topic in each livestream.

Chris was certainly a valuable guest and helped the hosts to test the structure of having a guest on remotely within a live episode.
