PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operation controller for an electric artificial limb, capable of reducing a burden on a user.SOLUTION: An electric artificial arm 1 includes: a hand unit 2 as a man-made hand; a controller 3 playing a role in a series of control required to electrically operate the hand unit 2; a battery 4 for supplying power to electric elements built-in the hand unit 2 via the controller 3; and three pressure sensors 5-7 provided on a sheet attached on a sole. When a predetermined load exceeding a threshold value is applied to the pressure sensor 5 due to a pressing operation near to a toe, the fingertip of the hand unit 2 is operated in a closed direction under control of the controller 3. When a load is applied to the pressure sensor 6, the fingertip is operated in an opening direction, and when a load is applied to the pressure sensor 7, the wrist moves. |
