DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE MOVEMENT OF A SURGICAL INSTRUMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a control device that includes an arm (12) for mounting the instrument and at least one motion sensor (16) to be placed on the operator (2) of the control device and equipped to sense the movement of said operator according to the degree of freedom of the mounting arm (12), said device including a means (20) for processing signals emitted by the motion sensor (16), said means (20) being equipped to process the signals emitted by the motion sensor (16) and to send the corresponding control signals to the mounting shaft (12) so that the movement sensed by the motion sensor (16) controls the corresponding movements of the mounting arm (12). The device also includes a means for starting and stopping the detection of the motion of the operator by the sensor (16).
