Abstract

Lumbalna lordoza, zakrivljenost donjeg dijela kralježnice, bila je izrazito bitna evolucijska adaptacija za dvonožno kretanje u ljudi, zbog omogućenog dodatnog uravnoteženja i uspravljanja trupa. Lordoza je povezana s povećanom pokretljivošću donjeg dijela leđa i većom sposobnošću ublažavanja lumbalnog opterećenja. S druge strane, zakrivljenost lumbalne kralježnice je također povezana s manjom stabilnošću te povećanim rizikom od ozljeda. Ovaj je kompromis rezultat selekcijskih pritisaka koji su uvjetovali adaptacijske promjene u lumbalnoj lordozi tijekom evolucije čovjeka. U suvremena čovjeka lumbalna regija kralježnice je često mjesto ozljeda i oštećenja. Zbog značajnih opterećenja, to je od posebne važnosti i za populaciju sportaša. Analiza lordoze u suvremena čovjeka može pomoći u prevenciji i liječenju boli u donjem dijelu leđa.

Abstract (english)

Lumbar lordosis, the curvature of the lower spine, was an extremely important evolutionary adaptation for bipedal movement in humans since it enabled further balancing and straightening of the torso. Lordosis is associated with increased lower back mobility and a greater ability to alleviate lumbar load. On the other hand, lumbar spine curvature is also associated with less stability and an increased risk of injury. This compromise is a result of selection pressures that drove adaptive changes in lumbar lordosis through human evolution. In modern humans lumbar spine is a frequent region of injuries and impairments. Due to significant loads, this is especially important for the population of athletes. Analysis of lordosis in modern humans can help in prevention and treatment of lower back pain.
