The invention relates to a method and device for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic joint of a lower extremity having a resistance device to which at least one actuator is associated, via which the bending and/or stretching resistance is changed depending on sensor data. During the use of the joint, status information is provided via sensors. During use of the joint, status information is provided via sensors, wherein a cyclic movement different from walking is determined and the resistance is reduced for the duration of the cyclic movement.一種用於控制人工矯正體式或修復體式的下肢關節的方法，該關節具一阻力裝置，有一動作器與該阻力裝置配合，利用該動作器將彎曲及/或伸直的阻力依感測器資料而定作改變，其中在使用該關節時利用感測器提供狀態資訊，其中，將一種與步行不同的循環式運動求出，並在該循環運動的期間將阻力減少。(圖1)
