Bone loss materializes rapidly after immobilization or mechanical unloading. Hind limb injection with botulinum toxin A (BTX) is a highly reproducible animal model for disuse-induced bone loss. Here we describe an easy-to-use and enhanced version of the method employing multiple hind limb injections with BTX to induce a pervasive muscle paralysis and thereby disuse of the hind limb. Thirty-six 12-14-week-old female Wistar rats were stratified into three groups Baseline (Base), Control (Ctrl), and BTX. Disuse was achieved by injecting BTX directly in
