Study Notes
Spinal Curvatures
- Cervical and lumbar regions exhibit lordotic curvatures, characterized as concave shapes.
- Lordotic curvatures are classified as secondary curvatures, developed after birth through movement and weight-bearing activities.
- Thoracic and sacral regions show kyphotic curvatures, defined by their convex shape.
- Kyphotic curvatures are considered primary curvatures, as they are present at birth and develop during fetal growth.
- The primary function of spinal curves is to absorb and distribute stress during physical activities, enhancing stability and flexibility.
