mean age: 45.63 ± 23.19
five women and three men). Participants must walk on a flat surface at a self-selected pace. Their movements are recorded with a motion capture system, and forces between the tread surface and partic

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria for this prospective clinical study were defined by a patient collective at a university clinic in the period 07/2016-05/2022 aged between 18 and 70 years who were treated unilaterally at a university institution for a pelvic ring fracture of the iliosacral joint by percutaneous screw fixation (n = 8; mean age: 45.63 ± 23.19; five females and three males). The control individuals have not undergone surgical fixation (n = 8; mean age: 46.50 ± 22.91; five females and three males), have a physiological gait pattern and should have an age between 18 and 70 years.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: a) medical conditions that may interfere with walking or impair gait (for example: significant soft tissue injury, infection, or pain, diagnosed movement disorder (for example, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia), stroke, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury), major limb amputation (b) diagnosed dementia (c) pregnancy (d) diagnosed substance dependence (e) inability to communicate with investigators (f) uncooperative behavior (g) inability to provide written informed consent (h) severe comorbidities that make participation hazardous (e.g., severely reduced bone mineral density)
