Biomechanics Torque Calculator
Visualize Force, Lever Arm, and Joint Torque
Average arm is approx 0.6m - 0.7m
90°
0° = Hanging down | 90° = Horizontal | 180° = Overhead

💡 Clinical Application:
Notice how Torque is highest at 90° (Horizontal). This is because the "Moment Arm" (Red Dotted Line) is longest.
Modification Tip: If a patient has shoulder pain, reduce the Torque by either: 1. Reducing the Weight. 2. Bending the elbow (Shortening the Lever Arm Length). 3. Exercising in a range closer to the body (0°-30°) where the Moment Arm is shorter.
