The invention relates to a method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic joint of a lower extremity with a resistance unit 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. The invention further relates to a device for carrying out such a method. According to the invention, the bending resistance is increased or not lowered in the standing phase, when an inertial angle of a lower leg part decreasing in the direction of the vertical and a front foot under pressure at the same time are identified.一種用於控制人工矯正體式或修復體式關節的方法,用於控制一下肢的關節,具有一阻力裝置,至少有一動作器與該阻力裝置配合,利用該動作器可將彎曲阻力及/或伸直阻力依感測器資料而定作改變,其中在使用此關節時經由感測器提供狀態資訊,其中,在站立階段時,如果知悉一小腿部的慣性角度向垂直線的方向減少,同時足前部受負荷,則將彎曲阻力提高或不減少。
