Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

What is the relationship between hyperlordosis and low back pain (LBP)? Mohammad Reza Nourbakhsh et al[2]. found a significant correlation between LBP and a reduced endurance of the extensors of the back, a reduced strength of the hip flexors, adductors and abdominal muscles and a reduced length of the back extensors. The relationship between LBP and the shape of the lumbar spine has not been demonstrated. They found no relationship between the strength and length of the muscles and a hyperlodosis or a tilt of the hip. Kim HJ et al[3]. found a strong relationship between the strength and endurance of the muscles and the lumbar lordosis. It remains a point of discussion, but it is generally assumed that these muscles affect the shape of the lumbar spine. Barbara J. Norton et al. [4]found no relationship between the incidence of LBP and lumbar lordosis.
