A method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, on which a lower-leg component is arranged and with which a resistance device is associated, the bending resistance (R) of which resistance device is changed in dependence on sensor data that are determined by means of at least one sensor during the use of the orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, wherein a linear acceleration (aF) of the lower-leg component is determined, the determined linear acceleration (aF) is compared with at least one threshold value, and, if a threshold value of the linear acceleration (aF) of the lower-leg component is reached, the bending resistance (R) is changed.本發明係有關於一種用於控制人工修復體或義肢膝關節(2)的方法,在該修復體或義肢膝關節上設有一小腿組件(3),該小腿組件分配有一阻力裝置(5),其用於根據在該修復體或義肢膝關節使用期間利用至少一感測器(11,12,31)所測得的感測器資料來改變彎曲阻力R,其中,測定該小腿組件(3)的一線性加速度aF,將該測得之線性加速度aF與至少一閾值進行比較,並在達到該小腿組件(3)之該線性加速度aF的一閾值的情況下改變該彎曲阻力R。1‧‧‧義肢接受腔,股骨幹,上部件2‧‧‧義肢膝關節3‧‧‧小腿組件4‧‧‧義足5‧‧‧阻力裝置11‧‧‧膝角感測器12‧‧‧加速度感測器31‧‧‧慣量感測器,慣量角感測器aF‧‧‧加速度aR‧‧‧徑向加速度aT‧‧‧切向加速度φK‧‧‧膝角φUS‧‧‧絕對角
