lumbar lordosis

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of lying on the stomach on the spine angles of 13-18 year old students in Karaj. For this purpose, 105 13-18 year old students of girls' schools in District 3 of Karaj, who were accustomed to lying on the stomachs, randomly participated in the study by convenience sampling method and based on the number of study hours per day, less than 1 hour, between 1 and 2 hours and more than 2 hours placed in three groups. angles of forward head, unequal shoulder, lumbar lordosis, dorsal kyphosis and scoliosis were assessed using standard tests with high validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni test at the significance level of 0.05. A significant difference was between lumbar lordosis and forward head angle among students who were less than 1 hour and more than 2 hours accustomed to lying on their stomachs(P<0.05). But this difference was not significant for variables of uneven (dropped) shoulder, dorsal kyphosis and scoliosis(P<0.05). The students who studied for more than 2 hours a day while lying on their stomachs had abnormalities of lumbar lordosis and forward head angle. .

Background : Chronic low back pain (LBP) is one of the most frequent causes of disability in women. Aim: The main purpose of the current study was to compare the effects of yoga, TRX, and exercise-related combination programs on pain and lordosis in women with increased lordosis and LBP. Materials and Methods: In this study, 40 women based on the study's criteria were included in the pre-intervention assessments and randomly divided into three experimental groups (yoga, TRX, and exercise-related combination programs) and control group. At this stage, the lordosis angle of participants was measured using a flexible ruler, and their pain was also measured via the Oswestry Disability Index. Furthermore, the experimental groups performed selected exercises for 60 min/session for three sessions/week for six weeks. Results : Our results demonstrated that there was a statistically significant difference between the yoga, TRX, and exercise-related combination programs in lumbar lordosis ( P = 0.003) and pain levels in women with LBP ( P = 0.007). Also, lumbar lordotic angle showed a significant reduction only in the combined groups subsequent to the period ( P = 0.003). Conclusion : In conclusion, the current findings illustrated that exercise-related combination program than other modalities could be used as an exercise-related treatment method to ameliorate lordosis angle and pain in women with LBP.
