Torque
By ExoRank Research Desk · Last reviewed Rotational force around a joint, commonly expressed in newton-metres. In an exoskeleton, useful torque depends on the device geometry, attachment points, control timing, and the user’s movement—not only the headline rating.
Why it matters
Two products with similar torque claims can feel very different. Exact test conditions and whether a figure is peak, continuous, per joint, or total should be recorded before comparison.
