A method for controlling an orthopedic device of a lower extremity, wherein the orthopedic device comprises an upper part and a lower part, wherein the upper part and the lower part are mounted on one another in an articulated manner around at least one pivot axis to form a joint, and wherein the orthopedic device comprises at least one actuator coupled to a control unit which activates or deactivates the at least one actuator based on sensor data of at least one sensor coupled with the control unit to influence a pivot resistance and/or a relative movement of the upper part (2) in relation to the lower part, comprising:

• (3), characterized in that an
• detecting orientation and/or displacement of the orthopedic device in a frontal plane using sensor data of the at least one sensor;
• and
• activating or deactivating the actuator or modulating a target value for the actuator based on an orientation and/or displacement of the orthopedic device in the frontal plane.
