  • Publication number: 20230398004
    Abstract: A method for configuring a myoelectrically controlled prosthetic system with a prosthesis socket and several lead electrodes for recording electric muscle activities, featuring the steps: placement of a surface electrode arrangement comprising several surface electrodes around the circumference of a residual limb, recording of electric muscle activity in muscles of the residual limb as electromyographic signals, said activity being recorded by the surface electrodes, evaluation of the myoelectric signals with regards to the distinctness of the signals, selection of the control procedure that is to be used to control the prosthesis system, based on the evaluation of the distinctness of the signals, and fixing of the lead electrodes to the prosthesis socket.

  • Publication number: 20230149187
    Abstract: An actuatable prosthesis device, comprising at least one drive, an electronic data processing device, and at least one sensor assembly for arranging on a body part of a prosthesis wearer. The at least one sensor assembly is designed to detect body signal patterns, and the electronic data processing device is designed to actuate the at least one drive on the basis of a detected body signal pattern such that the prosthesis devicecarries out a prosthesis movement assigned to the body signal pattern wherein at least two sets of body signal patterns and prosthesis movements assigned to each body signal pattern are stored on the electronic data processing device, and at least one trigger signal which switches over between the sets is assigned to the sets.
