The normal variants of the men and women's lumbar spine

As a result, a quantitative description of a normal curvature for lumbar lordosis was elaborated. The study addressed such issues as the impact of separate segments on the development of lordosis, with the identification of relevant quantitative parameters. In addition, sexual differences of the quantitative parameters describing the form of lumbar spine were determined. The study analyzed tendencies in the curvature transformation during the life period of 17-70 years of age.
