Abstract Degenerative spinal disorders, including kyphotic deformity, are associated with a range of degenerative characteristics of the paraspinal musculature. It has therefore been hypothesized that paraspinal muscular dysfunction is a causative factor for degenerative spinal deformity; however, experimental studies demonstrating causative relationships are lacking. Male and female mice received either glycerol or saline injections bilaterally along the length of the paraspinal muscles at four timepoints, each separated by 2 weeks. Immediately after sacrifice, micro-CT was performed to measure spinal deformity; paraspinal muscle biopsies were taken to measure active, passive and structural properties; and lumbar spines were fixed for analysis of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Glycerol-injected mice demonstrated clear signs of paraspinal muscle degeneration and dysfunction: significantly (p |
