Introduction Whereas biomechanics is a branch of bioengineering devote to tha study of biological systems in order to understand the musculoskeletal systems. Research in biomechanics help predict the behavior of the human body to replace body parts and also the development of clinical and surgical equipment. Methods It incorporates three modules: arm, forearm and elbow which are assembled depending on the needs of each patient. Results It´s designed under ergonomic, functional and cosmetics parameters. It´s manufactured with light, resistant and economic materials. Arm control is accomplished by an electronic-brain interface that reads the muscular contractions over patient´s skin at his trunnion so that he can carry out the arm´s movements controlling speed and force. It is provided with a cosmetic glove made of latex/silicon and a rechargeable I-Li battery. discussion Arm control is accomplished by an electronic-brain interface that reads the muscular contractions over patient´s skin at his trunnion so that he can carry out the arm´s movements controlling speed and force.
