Terms needs to be clarified. Loss of lumbar lordosis is a term that needs to be added. -- Abhijeet Safai ( talk) 05:18, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
A sway-back posture is characterised by the posterior displacement of the rib cage in comparison to the pelvis. It looks like the person has a hyperextension of the natural lordosis, however it is not necessarily the case. Most sway-back exhibit a posteriorly tilted pelvis and their lumbar is usually flat (too flexed) and not hyper lordotic (too extended). The point is, these are too different things.

Why are the paragraphs about hyperlordoses using 'Dancer' instead of 'Patient' or 'Individual' ? Seems like a literal copy from some book about sport-injuries. This is generally a confusing writing style, and possible copyright violation. Can somebody rework this. -- 79.225.125.105 ( talk) 13:58, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, that caught me up too, as if the primary demographic for these conditions is the dancer. Probably the typical patient is rather the Western office worker. Eyleron ( talk) 18:30, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Why is this all about hyperlordosis? The back isn't always excessively curved. It can be normally curved, or insufficiently curved. Where's the advice to increase one's curve? Correctrix ( talk) 05:57, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
the wikipedia page on "Lordosis” the first paragraph describes "kyphosis" as: “The normal outward (convex) curvature in the thoracic and sacral regions”. yet the the hyperlink in that paragraph to “kyphosis”, the first sentence describes "kyphosis": “is an abnormally excessive convex curvature of the spine as it occurs in the thoracic and sacral regions”. these descriptions of "kyphosis" are directly contradictory and cannot coexist.
