Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021219596A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling at least one actuator (4) of an orthopedic device (2) with an electronic control device (E), which is coupled to the actuator (4) and at least one sensor (8) and which has an electronic processor (µC) for processing sensor data (s), wherein at least one state machine (SM) in which states (z) of the orthopedic device (2) and state transitions of the actuator (4) are determined is stored in the control device (E), wherein a classifier (K) in which sensor data (s) and/or states (z) are automatically classified within the scope of a classification method is stored in the control device (E), wherein the state machine (SM) and the classification method are used in combination and, on the basis of the classification and the states (z), a decision is made about the manner of activating or deactivating the actuator (4) as a control signal.
