The invention relates to a device and method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic joint of a lower extremity, comprising a resistance unit with which at least one actuator is associated, via which the bending and/or stretching resistance is varied depending on sensor data. During the use of the joint, status information is provided via sensors. According to the invention, the resistance is increased in the standing phase or while standing from a starting value depending on the ground reaction force up to a locking point of the joint.一種用於控制一下肢的人工矯正體式或修復體式關節的方法，該關節具有一阻力裝置，至少有一動作器與該阻力裝置配合，利用該動作器將彎曲阻力及/或伸直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，在站立階段或在站立時將該阻力依地面作用力而定一直提供到該關節被阻擋住為止。此外還關於一種用於實施該方法的實施裝置。(圖6)
