Musculoskeletal modelling of an ostrich (Struthio camelus) pelvic limb: influence of limb orientation on muscular capacity during locomotion
We developed a three-dimensional, biomechanical computer model of the 36 major pelvic
limb muscle groups in an ostrich (Struthio camelus) to investigate muscle function in this, the …
