METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ARTIFICIAL ORTHOTIC OR PROSTHETIC KNEE JOINT

The invention relates to a method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic knee joint (2), on which a lower-leg component (3) is arranged and with which a resistance device (5) is associated, the bending resistance (R) of which resistance device is changed in dependence on sensor data th...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic knee joint (2), on which a lower-leg component (3) is arranged and with which a resistance device (5) is associated, the bending resistance (R) of which resistance device is changed in dependence on sensor data that are determined by means of at least one sensor (11, 12, 31) during the use of the orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, wherein a linear acceleration (aF) of the lower-leg component (3) is determined, the determined linear acceleration (aF) is compared with at least one threshold value, and, if a threshold value of the linear acceleration (aF) of the lower-leg component (3) is reached, the bending resistance (R) is changed.
