Method for setting up a myoelectric-controlled prosthesis system with a prosthesis shaft (20) and a plurality of pick-up electrodes (10) for detecting electrical muscle activities, said method having the steps of: placing a surface electrode arrangement (200) with a plurality of surface electrodes (100) about the circumference of a limb stump (1), detecting electrical muscle activity at muscles of the limb stump (1) as electromyographic signals through the surface electrodes (100), evaluating the myoelectric signals in terms of their signal differentiation, selecting the control method, by which the prosthesis system is controlled, on the basis of the evaluation of the signal differentiation, and fastening the pick-up electrodes (10) to the prosthesis shaft (20). |
