PROSTHETIC OR EXOSKELETON COMPONENT, PROSTHESIS OR EXOSKELETON, AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a prosthetic or exoskeleton component (401) for a prosthesis or exoskeleton (200), comprising a shock-absorbing unit (100), and to a method for operating a prosthetic or exoskeleton component (401). The shock-absorbing unit (100) comprises a damping device (1) that can be controlled by means of a control device (60). A detection device (408) comprises a sensor unit (403) for receiving a signal. Said detection device (408) is suitable for and designed to detect uneven ground depending on the acquired signal and to control the damping device (1) in response to the detected uneven ground such that a damping property of the damping device (1) can be adjusted by means of a signal of the detection device (408).
