It is estimated that Ida died at about 80-85% of her projected adult body and limb length.
Like other sauropods, it moved quadrupedaly (on four legs), as indicated by the elongated fore limbs that reached 70 to 75 % of hind limb length.
He elaborated a new direction in correction of limb length.
Though variable limb thickness is assumed; over time, limb rotation and limb length become the dominant mechanisms for deformation, leading to an increase in fold amplitude.
Also, the two differ in relative limb length.
Other crown measurements that are commonly taken include limb length, crown volume, and foliage density.
For long limbs with changing curvature determining the limb length into smaller segments with each segment measured independently will almost always be required if acceptable accuracy is to be achieved.
Ground based measurements can be used to measure the limb length and diameters of branch sections remotely through the use of a monocular w/reticle or photographic analysis.
Other evidence for endothermy includes limb length (many dinosaurs possessed comparatively long limbs) and bipedalism, both found today only in endotherms.
Athletes are judged on their muscle strength, joint range of motion, limb length and movement co-ordination.
