English term or phrase: sideways joint movement
Je traduis toujours un long article sur les autruches et leur capacité à courir vite. Une partie de l'article se focalise sur la masse musculaire de ces espèces aviaires et les compare aux humains.
Voici le contexte, car sideways joint movement me paraît pas encore clair : A wide range of joint motion allows humans to climb trees or ballet dance, but this flexibility has a cost. When we run, muscle power is used for propulsion but also to prevent sideways joint movement, thereby increasing our energy requirements over a given distance. I suspected that ostriches had a more efficient approach.
