Abstract

See full text

A method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic joint of a lower extremity with a resistance unit to which at least one actuator is associated, via which the bending and/or stretching resistance is changed depending on sensor data. During the use of the joint, status information is provided via sensors. A device for carrying out such a method provides bending resistance that is increased or not lowered in the standing phase, when an inertial angle of a lower leg part is decreasing relative to a vertical direction and a front foot under pressure at the same time are identified.
