The invention relates to a method for controlling an orthopedic joint of a lower extremity in at least one degree of freedom by means of an adjustable actuator for adjusting an orthopedic apparatus to walking situations that differ from walking on a plane. Said orthopedic apparatus comprises top connecting means to a limb and an orthopedic element that is hingedly arranged distal to the connecting means. The method encompasses the following steps: —several parameters of the orthopedic apparatus are sensed by means of sensors； —the sensed parameters are compared with criteria that have been established based on several parameters and/or parameter curves and are stored in a computer unit； —a criterion is selected that is suitable on the basis of the determined parameters and/or parameter curves； and —resistances to movements, extents of movements, driving forces, and/or the progresses thereof are adjusted in accordance with the selected criterion in order to control special functions that differ from walking on a plane.一種控制下肢之整形關節的方法，用一種可調整的動作器以至少一種自由度作控制，以使一整形裝置配合和在平面步行不同的步行情況，該整形裝置具有接到一肢體的上側接頭手段以及一個整形元件，該整形元件係以樞接方式設在遠離該接頭手段的一側，包含以下步驟：--經由感測器檢出該整型裝置的數個參數；--將檢出的參數與利用數個參數及/或參數走勢得到且存在電腦中的標準比較；--選出一標準，此標準適合利用該所得到之參數及/或參數走勢；--將運動阻力、運動環境、驅動力量及/或其走勢依所選的標準而定作配合，以將從在平面中的步行偏離的特別功能作控制。(圖7)
