FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to a method for controlling an artificial knee joint depreciation phase. Artificial knee joint comprises an upper part, a lower part, a resistance unit and a control unit. Upper part and lower part are fixed on each other with possibility of rotation around axis of rotation. Resistance unit is located between the upper part and the lower part and has an adjusting device by means of which the damping resistance can be changed. Control unit is matched with control device and is connected to at least one sensor, wherein adjustment is carried out based on sensor data. During bending of stop phase up to final stop phase knee angle is recorded by at least one sensor and bending damping is raised to a level higher than initial bumpless damping until further bending is prevented when the specified maximum bend angle is achieved.
EFFECT: invention provides the possibility of adaptation to various situations during walking and a comfortable walking pattern with simultaneous maximum safety.
