Abstract: The equations of motion for a Lagrangian $calL(k_1)$, depending on the curvature $k_1$ of the particle worldline, embedded in a space--time of constant curvature, are considered and reformulated in terms of the principal curvatures. It is shown that for arbitrary Lagrangian function $calL(k_1)$ the general solution of the motion equations can be obtained by integrals. By analogy with the flat space--time case, the constants of integration are interpreted as the particle mass and its spin. As examples, we completely investigate Lagrangians linear and quadratic in $(k_1)$ and the model of relativistic particle with maximal proper acceleration, in a space--time with constant curvature.
