Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic joint of a lower extremity with a resistance device 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. According to the invention, the inertial angle of an thigh part is measured and the resistance is reduced, when the thigh part is at least 45° to the vertical and/or the knee angle is greater than 45°.
