Lordosis (Baby)

Severe curvature of the lower spine.

Lordosis (Fitness)

An abnormal anterior curve, usually found in the lumbar region, and as such is an exaggeration of the normal anterior curve (avoid use of the term "normal lordosis"); often called "hollow back." It is accompanied by anterior pelvic tilt and hip joint flexion. If used without any modifying word, it refers to lumbar lordosis. In the thoracic region, occasionally, there is a slight lordosis which is a reversal of the normal posterior curve. In a typical forward head position, the neck is in a position of extension that is greater than the normal anterior curve and as such resembles a lordosis.
