Hindlimb kinematics, kinetics and muscle dynamics during sit-to-stand and sit-to-walk transitions in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) Summary: The dynamics, biomechanical constraints and musculotendinous coordination strategies during the sit-to-stand/walk transitions for a large bipedal bird – the emu – inform morphology, evolution...

Ever wondered how birds stand up? Our paper explores how emus use their muscles to stand up. We found that these large, flightless birds use large muscle fibre length changes, activations and forces. My 1st PhD chapter, out now in @jexpbiol.bsky.social!
