The purpose of this work is to develop an experimental physical model of the shoulder joint complex. The aim of this research is to validate the model built and identify the forces on specified positions of this joint. The shoulder musculoskeletal structures have been replicated to evaluate the forces to which muscle fibres are subjected in different equilibrium positions: 60º flexion, 60º abduction and 30º abduction and flexion. The physical model represents, quite accurately, the shoulder complex. It has 12 real degrees of freedom, which allows motions such as abduction, flexion, adduction and extension and to calculate the resultant forces of the represented muscles. The built physical model is versatile and easily manipulated and represents, above all, a model for teaching applications on anatomy and shoulder joint complex biomechanics. Moreover, it is a valid research tool on muscle actions related to abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, internal and external rotation motions or combination among them.

Este trabajo consiste en desarrollar un modelo físico experimental del complejo articular del hombro. El objetivo en esta investigación es validar el modelo construido e identificar las fuerzas en posiciones específicas de esta articulación. Se han reproducido las estructuras musculo-esqueléticas del hombro para evaluar las fuerzas a las que están sometidas las fibras musculares en diferentes posiciones de equilibrio: flexión 60º, abducción 60º y aducción más flexión 30º. El modelo físico representa con suficiente aproximación a la realidad el complejo del hombro; posee 12 grados reales de libertad, lo cual permite realizar movimientos como abducción, flexión, aducción y extensión y calcular las fuerzas resultantes de los músculos representados. El modelo físico construido es versátil y fácilmente manipulable y constituye, por encima de todo, un modelo para aplicaciones didácticas en anatomía y biomecánica del complejo articular del hombro. Así mismo, es una herramienta de investigación válida sobre las acciones musculares asociadas a los movimientos de abducción, aducción, flexión, extensión, rotación interna y externa o combinaciones de los mismos.
