The paper models ligamentous constraints on avian shoulder mobility using an in silico approach and validates it with ex vivo measurements to improve estimates of joint function in extinct vertebrates.

The paper develops a biomechanical model of the mouse forelimb to predict muscle activity during reaching movements, finding strong similarity between simulated and empirical muscle patterns.

This study analyzes the biomechanics of sit-to-stand and sit-to-walk transitions in emus, revealing high muscle activation and joint demands, and highlights potential applications in robotics and animal welfare.

This study uses a 3D musculoskeletal model to analyze how hindlimb posture affects tendon stress and energy storage in hopping kangaroos, revealing posture-mediated elastic energy savings.
