| In transforaminal lumbar surgery, the patient is positioned in restored physiological lordosis. |
| Lumbar lordosis was making way for a cyphosis, spread to the lower part of the back, but it had been transferred to the cervico-dorsal region. |
| The anatomical position of her spine could not be viewed optimally because of the pronounced lordosis, and this could prolong the procedure. |
| By thus converting a posterior into an anterior dislocation, the tilting of the pelvis and the lordosis are greatly diminished. |
| The expression of the lordosis posture is under tonic inhibition by brain nuclei whose activity is suppressed by steroid hormones from the preovulatory follicles. |
| The Thomas test will help to identify the presence of a hip flexion contracture by eliminating the effects of excessive lumbar lordosis on the perceived extension of the hip. |
