The invention relates to a method for operating an orthopedic device, which • - supports a first body part (24) of a wearer and • - has at least one controllable actuator, wherein the method comprises the following steps: • a) determining a chronological progression of at least one parameter, which allows a conclusion to be drawn regarding a state of motion of the wearer, from measurement values of at least one sensor, • b) detecting the state of motion from the at least one determined chronological progression and • c) controlling the at least one controllable actuator depending on the detected state of motion, wherein, for detecting the state of motion, at least the chronological progression of at least one parameter of a second body part (26) of the wearer is also used, wherein the at least one controllable actuator has at least one electrode for electrostimulation, which electrode is actuated such that at least one arm of the wearer is caused to swing depending on the detected state of motion. |
