Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an orthopedic device, which supports a first body part of a wearer and has at least one controllable actuator, wherein the method includes a) determining a chronological progression of at least one parameter, which allows a conclusion to be drawn regarding a state of motion of the wearer, from measurement values of at least one sensor, b) detecting the state of motion from the at least one determined chronological progression and c) controlling the at least one controllable actuator depending on the detected state of motion, wherein, for detecting the state of motion, at least the chronological progression of at least one parameter of a second body part of the wearer is also used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for putting on an orthosis (2) with a first dimensionally stable component (4), comprising a first magnetic element (36) and a first form-fitting element (8), and a second dimensionally stable component (6), comprising a second magnetic element (14) and a second form-fitting element (12), the method comprising the following steps: putting the first component (4) against a part of the wearer's body so it extends along the body part, positioning the second component (6) on the first component (4), wherein a magnetic attractive force acts between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element in a first direction when the orthosis (2) is mounted, and the first form-fitting element forms a form-fitting connection with the second form-fitting element, by means of which a movement of the two components relative to each other is prevented.
