Fig. 2. (A) Limb EMA defined as the ratio of extensor muscle moment arm
(r) versus ground force moment arm (R), which over
the period of limb support equals the ratio of ground force (G) impulse
versus muscle force (Fm) impulse. (B) Effect of
posture on limb EMA, showing that small animals with crouched postures have
lower limb EMA (smaller `R' moment arms: green bars) than larger
animals with more erect postures.
