First hominin muscle reconstruction shows 3.2 million-year-old 'Lucy' could stand as erect as we can

The paper touches on this in its introduction. I can't explain how they did it, because the details are too technical for me.
However, the method they used comes from this paper here, where they reconstructed an extinct archosaur's legs by using an extant crocodile species. If I understood it correctly, they were able to verify the technique by then applying it to a gorilla's shoulder.
