Patent ID: 11065133

Abstract:
A prosthesis that can be actuated by external force includes a prosthesis shaft and an exoprosthesis with at least one prosthesis motor that can be activated by a prosthesis control device and a joint. The prosthesis control device includes a housing, a microcontroller and display device, so that a gripping process can be replicated by the prosthesis motor controllable by the prosthesis control device and parameters of the gripping process are displayed on a display, in which case recording and evaluation of the electromyography signals are dispensed with. The display displays the chosen parameters of an imminent gripping process and the prosthesis control device includes an input device by which a desired gripping force and/or gripping time can be actively set on the microcontroller before performance of the gripping process by a prosthesis wearer directly on the prosthesis control device and can be readjusted during the gripping process.
