The invention relates to a method for controlling an orthopedic system a. at least one stimulation electrode (10) for activating at least one muscle, b. an orthotic or prosthetic device (20) which can be placed on a patient's body and fixed thereon, with at least one joint (41, 42) via which a proximal and a distal component (21, 22; 22, 23) of the orthotic or prosthetic device (20) are pivotably connected to one another, c. at least one adjustable resistance device (30) which is arranged between the distal and the proximal component (21,22) and via which a resistance to movement against pivoting of the proximal component (21) to the distal component (22) can be set, d. Sensors (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66) for recording forces, positions, accelerations and / or moments, e. a control device (50), which is coupled to the sensors (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66) and the resistance device (30), processes sensor values from the sensors (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66) and the resistance device (30) is adjusted as a function of the sensor values, in which i. at least one muscle of the patient is activated via the at least one stimulation electrode (10), ii. Via the sensors (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66) forces, positions, accelerations and / or moments of a limb and / or a component (21, 22, 23, 41, 42) attached to the orthotic or prosthetic device the orthotic or prosthetic device (20) is detected and the sensor values detected by the sensors (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66) are transmitted to the control device, and iii. the resistance device (30) is adjusted as a function of the sensor values. |
