Given a scalar parameter q, the q-deformed Heisenberg algebra H(q) is the unital associative algebra with two generators A, B that satisfy the q-deformed commutation relation AB-qBA=I, where I is the multiplicative identity. For H(q) of torsion-type, that is if q is a root of unity, characterization is obtained for all the Lie polynomials in A, B and basis and graded structure and commutation relations for associated Lie algebras are studied.
