Abstract
Las personas que padecen artritis reumatoide sufren complicaciones en su proceso de terapia física debido a que en general los centros de terapia disponen de equipos para tratamientos especializados como laser, ultrasonido, entre otros. Sin embargo, en cuanto a terapias de movimiento no se cuenta con equipamiento específico, por lo cual, se sugieren movimientos que el paciente debe realizar en casa sin vigilancia de un profesional entrenado, el implemento presentado pretende convertirse en una alternativa valiosa para terapia de brazo que permita facilidad de uso al acoplarse directamente al brazo, portabilidad mediante el uso de materiales ligeros que provean la resistencia suficiente, adaptabilidad mediante mecanismos de extensión ajustables a las dimensiones requeridas y seguridad en el ejercicio por medio de limitaciones de movimientos y ajuste de resistencia adecuadas al estado del padecimiento.

However, in terms of movement therapies, there is no specific equipment, so we suggest movements that the patient must perform at home without supervision of a trained professional, the presented tool aims to become a valuable alternative for arm therapy that allows ease of use when attached directly to the arm, portability through the use of light materials that provide sufficient strength, adaptability by means of extension mechanisms adjustable to the required dimensions and safety in the exercise by means of limitations of movements and adequate resistance adjustment to the condition. Keywords: implement, therapeutic, therapy, arthritis, rheumatoid.
