Definition
-Lordosis is the inward curvature of a portion of the lumbar and cervical vertebral column.
-Kyphosis (from Greek – kyphos, a hump), also called roundback or Kelso's hunchback, is a condition of over-curvature of the thoracic vertebrae (upper back).
-Scoliosis (from Greek: σκολίωσις skoliosis "obliquity, bending") is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side. |
