Abstract: For a $mathcal{C}^1$ diffeomorphism $f:mathbb{R}^{2}ightarrowmathbb{R}^2$ isotopic to the identity, we prove that for any value $linmathbbR$ of the linking number at finite time of the orbits of two points there exists at least a point whose torsion at the same finite time equals $linmathbbR$. As an outcome, we give a much simpler proof of a theorem by Matsumoto and Nakayama concerning torsion of measure on $mathbb{T}^2$. In addition, in the framework of twist maps, we generalize a known result concerning the linking number of periodic points: indeed, we estimate such value for any couple of points for which the limit of the linking number exists.
