Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 An exemplary representation of a prosthetic system 1 in the form of a prosthetic hand system with a prosthetic sleeve 2 by means of which the prosthetic system can be fastened to the forearm stump is shown schematically. Instead of being configured as an upper limb prosthesis, it is possible and provided that the prosthesis system 1 is configured as a lower limb prosthesis. It is also possible to configure the prosthesis sleeve 2 for receiving the upper arm stump. A plurality of sensors 10 in the form of surface electrodes are arranged within the prosthesis sleeve 2 , in the illustrated exemplary embodiment four electrode pairs are arranged as sensors 10 on the inner surface of the prosthesis sleeve 2 . Myoelectric signals during muscle contraction can be received through the sensor. The sensor 10 detects surface potential and may also be touch sensitive. Furthermore, an amplifier 20 is provided for each electrode pair in or on the prosthesis sleeve 2 , whic...

Abstract

The invention relates to a prosthesis system comprising at least two sensors (10), at least one controller (30) which is coupled to the sensors (10) and processes sensor signals of the sensors (10), at least one actuator (70) which is coupled to the controller (30) and can be activated or deactivated on the basis of control signals of the controller (30), and at least one movably mounted prosthesis component (60) which can be moved by the actuator (70). A standard program is stored in the controller (30) or can be retrieved by the controller, said program assigning an actuator action to each sensor (10) regardless of the duration and / or intensity of the sensor signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a prosthesis system comprising: at least two sensors; at least one control device coupled to the sensors and processing sensor signals of the sensors; at least one actuator coupled to the actuator control device and is activated or deactivated based on a control signal from the control device; and at least one movably mounted prosthesis part that can be moved by an actuator. The invention also relates to a method for checking the function of the prosthesis system. Background technique [0002] The prosthesis, and thus the prosthesis system according to the invention, is also used as a replacement for a limb that no longer exists. In addition to imitating appearance, prostheses or prosthetic systems are also used to provide function in order to completely or at least partially replace the function of a natural limb that no longer exists, depending on the possibility. In prostheses or prosthetic systems there are devices for fa...
