The Biodex Medical System was applied to test the group of 15, right handed, young men. Torque was measured at 5 different angular positions between 0° (arm along the trunk) and 120° in both directions. The torque-angle curves were approximated with polynomial of the second order. The abduction torque-angle curve has a shape of hyperbola with maximum at 0° and adduction torque has a form of parabola with maximum at 45°. Abduction muscle group is stronger than adduction muscle group in the position of 0° and 120°. In the remaining positions the adduction muscle group is stronger than abduction muscle group.
