METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ARTIFICIAL ORTHOTIC OR PROSTHETIC KNEEJOINT

摘要

A method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, on which a lower-leg component is arranged and with which a resistance device 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 during the use of the orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, wherein a linear acceleration (aF) of the lower-leg component 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 is reached, the bending resistance (R) is changed.

1. A method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, on which a below-knee component is arranged and which is assigned a resistance device, the method comprising:
determining sensor data via at least one sensor during use of the orthotic or prosthetic knee joint; changing a flexion resistance R in accordance with the sensor data; determining a linear acceleration aF of the below-knee component; comparing the determined linear acceleration aF with at least one threshold value; changing the flexion resistance R if the threshold value is reached.
