Animal biomechanics

the ratio of muscle moment arm to ground reaction force moment arm at a joint, which rises with body size as larger mammals adopt more upright limbs.

In animal biomechanics, effective mechanical advantage refers to the ratio of muscle moment arm to ground reaction force moment arm at a joint, which rises with body size as larger mammals adopt more upright limbs. This meaning comes from Biewener (1989) in Science.[1]
