Prosthesis that can be actuated by external force

A prosthesis actuatable by external force, the prosthesis comprising a prosthesis shaft and an exoprosthesis with at least one prosthesis motor that is activatable by a prosthesis control device and a joint,

• wherein the prosthesis control device includes a housing, a microcontroller arranged in the housing and display device, so that a gripping process can be replicated by the prosthesis motor controllable by the prosthesis control device and parameters of the gripping process are displayable by the display device, in which case recording and evaluation of the electromyography signals are dispensed with,
• wherein the display device displays the chosen parameters of an imminent gripping process and the prosthesis control device includes an input device by which a desired gripping force and/or gripping time is actively settable on the microcontroller of the prosthesis control device before performance of the gripping process by a prosthesis wearer directly on the prosthesis control device and is re-adjustable during the gripping process by the input device.
