  Multifidus Muscle Fibre Type Distribution is Changed in Mouse Models of Chronic Intervertebral Disc Degeneration, but is not Attenuated by Whole Body Physical Activity.

  Case-controlled animal study. ⋯ Results confirmed slow muscle fiber loss in the multifidus in the chronic phase of IVD degeneration induced spontaneously and by injury. Whole-body PA did not attenuate changes to muscle fiber distribution. More specific approaches to muscle activation might be required to achieve more complete reversal of muscle fiber changes, with potential implications for therapy in humans.Level of Evidence: N/A.
