JointBiomechanics.compute_joint_torque(
muscle_forces__N: float | ndarray,
joint_angle__deg: float,
) float[source]#

Compute net joint torque from muscle forces.

Parameters:
  • muscle_forces__N (float or np.ndarray) – Forces from each muscle in Newtons. If float, assumes single muscle. If array, must have length equal to n_muscles.

  • joint_angle__deg (float) – Current joint angle in degrees.

Returns:

Net joint torque in N⋅cm.

Return type:

float

Notes

Positive torque indicates rotation in the positive joint angle direction.
