Problems solved by technology

The majority of the muscle groups required to close the hand are located in the forearm. If the forearm muscles are no longer present, the corresponding signals must be generated by other muscle groups, which means a basic re-learning for the user, which is extremely time-consuming and it takes a lot of practice

Embodiment Construction

[0019] in figure 1 A schematic perspective view of the forearm prosthesis 1 is shown in the figure, which has a forearm barrel 10 and a prosthetic hand 11 on the distal end of the forearm barrel 10. A control device, an energy storage device, and a motor driver for manipulating the prosthetic hand 11 can be arranged inside the forearm barrel 10, and at least part of these equipment can also be arranged in the prosthetic hand 11. The prosthetic hand 11 can move in the area of ​​the wrist joint as a whole, wherein the prosthetic hand 11 can not only externally rotate but also internally rotate as well as flexion and extension. Similarly, the fingers of the prosthetic hand 11 can also be configured to be manipulable, especially the thumb, index finger and middle finger, so as to be able to perform the main grasping function.

[0020] In the illustrated embodiment, a conductor electrode 12 is provided on the prosthetic tube 10 at the proximal open end of the prosthetic tube 10. The ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for setting up a control, and to a control for a technical orthopedic device, and a technical orthopedic device as such. Actuations of the technical orthopedic device (1) are provided by means of an output device (2, 3), biometric signals are received by sensors (12), and said signals are associated with the respective actuations.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for setting the control of an orthopedic technical device that is worn on the body part of a patient and is connected to a sensor that receives biometric data of the patient. The present invention also relates to A control device for an orthopedic technical device and this orthopedic technical device. Background technique [0002] Driven orthopedic technical devices, such as prostheses or orthoses, require control signals to make the motor drive work as desired. The control signal is generated, for example, by a conductor electrode, which receives an electromyographic signal, which is used as a pulse for activating the driver after being amplified by the control device as necessary. The usual way and method of matching the EMG signal to the corresponding driver is to configure an electrode for each muscle or muscle group and configure each EMG signal generated by the muscle group with a driver for activation or dea...
