0 a condition in which someone's spine (= the line of bones down their back) curves inwards too much
Earlier phases of labor, consisting predominantly of lordosis contractions were characterized by lower pressures relative to later phases during which higher pressures and vertical contractions were frequently observed.
The term lordosis is sometimes used to describe, in humans, abnormal forward curvature of the spine in the lumbar region.
The discs between these vertebrae create a lumbar lordosis (curvature that is concave posteriorly) in the human spine.
The arching of the lumbar region is known as lumbar lordosis, which recovers the center of mass into a stable position by reducing hip torque.
Postpartum, the angle of the lordosis declines and can reach the angle prior to pregnancy.
Lumbar lordosis is a common postural position where the natural curve of the lumbar region of the back is slightly or dramatically accentuated.
Lordosis may also increase at puberty sometimes not becoming evident until the early or mid-20s.
Other health conditions and disorders can cause lordosis.
