Lordosis is a reflex action that causes many non-primate female mammals to adopt a body position that is often crucial to reproductive behavior. The posture moves the pelvic tilt in an anterior direction, with the posterior pelvis rising up, the bottom angling backward and the front angling downward.
Lordosis in the human spine makes it easier for humans to bring the bulk of their mass over the pelvis. This allows for a much more efficient walking gait than that of other primates, whose inflexible spines cause them to resort to an inefficient forward-leaning "bent-knee, bent-waist" gait. As such, lordosis in the human spine is considered ...

[3] In the sense of a deformity, it is the pathological curving of the spine, where parts of the spinal column lose some or all of their lordotic profile. This causes a bowing of the back, seen as
Swayback, also known clinically as lordosis, [1] refers to abnormally bent postures in the backs of humans and of quadrupeds, especially horses. Extreme lordosis can cause physical damage to the spinal cord and associated ligaments and tendons [1] which can lead to severe pain. In horses, moderate lordosis does not generally impact an animal's ...
Inflammatory arthritis can sometimes cause symptoms in parts of the body other than the joints, like the eyes, heart, or lungs. As arthritis progresses, joint damage can get worse.
Especially among quadrupeds, a signal trait of estrus is the lordosis reflex, in which the animal spontaneously elevates her hindquarters. Controlled internal drug release devices are used in livestock for the synchronization of estrus.
Osteoarthritis is a condition that can affect joint mobility and cause joint pain. Experts are interested in understanding the relationship between experiencing menopause and the risk for ...
