Abstract

Animal models play an important role in the investigation of spine biomechanics. Guinea pigs are used in some neurological and orthopedic biomedical research, but the biomechanics of their spinal column is little discussed in the available literature. Therefore, the goal of this study was to point out the similarities and differences in the spinal column of humans and these animals, which can be significant when planning experiments.
