Table 1 The position of body parts in the lordotic posture
From: Non-structural misalignments of body posture in the sagittal plane
| Part of the body | Position |
|---|---|
| Head | Neutral |
| Cervical spine | Normal curve = physiologically convex anteriorly (lordosis) |
| Thoracic spine | Normal curve = physiologically convex posteriorly (kyphosis) |
| Lumbar spine | Hyperextended (hyperlordosis) |
| Pelvis | Increased anterior tilt |
| Hip joints | Relatively flexed |
| Knee joints | Hyperextended |
| Ankle joints | Plantar flexed |
