A Review of Corrective Exercise Protocols in People with Lumbar Lordosis Disorders

Lumbar Hyperlordosis Anomalies are caused by increased lumbar curvature. This condition is the result of anterior rotation of the pelvis and flexion of the thigh. One of the ways to correct this anomaly is to use sports protocols, which have a special place in correcting this anomaly. Therefore, the aim of the present is to review the of corrective exercise protocols in people with lumbar lordosis disorders.

From internal and external search engines Scopus, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, Pubmed, ISC, SID, Magiran, Irandoc, Doaj with a time limit of 2013 to 2020 and the keywords Protocol, Hyperlordosis, Lumbar Lordosis, Corrective Exercises. The present study is a systematic review method (PRISMA).

A total of 10 articles were selected based on the criteria for entering the study. These studies mainly examined the effect of corrective exercise protocols on lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, tolerance, hamstring muscle flexibility, pelvic flexor flexibility, and lumbar muscle flexibility, abdominal muscle strength and endurance, hamstring strength, dynamic balance, pain, functional disability in people with lumbar hyperlordosis abnormalities.

Exercise protocols, especially National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) corrective exercises due to the use of a coherent method with flexibility, capacity to increase strength and neuromuscular control, exercise in different stable and unstable spaces and exercise on different sides of the movement that is the basis of corrective exercise and model The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Correctional Training Chain can be recommended as a holistic lumbar lordosis disorders correction protocol.
