Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method for controlling an orthotic or prosthetic device and an orthotic or prosthetic device, which can be placed on the body of a user and secured, including a joint device having a proximal component and a distal component, which are pivotally mounted on one another about a pivot axis; at least one adjustable actuator which is arranged between the proximal component and the distal component and via which a movement behaviour relating to a pivoting of the proximal component relative to the distal component can be adjusted; at least one detection device for detecting muscle contractions; and a control device which is coupled to the detection device and to the actuator, processes (electrical) signals from the detection unit, and adjusts the actuator according to the signals, wherein the detection device is designed for detecting muscle contractions.
