Reports on Lordosis Findings from Shin-Yurigaoka General Hospital Provide New Insights (Relevance of Lumbar Subcutaneous Edema and Local Lordosis).

Researchers from Shin-Yurigaoka General Hospital in Kanagawa, Japan, conducted a study on the relevance of lumbar subcutaneous edema (LSE) and local lordosis in adult symptomatic patients who underwent lumbar plain MRI. They found that LSE was more common in older patients and those with lower body weight, and it was associated with age-related hypolordosis. The study highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between LSE and spinal alignment in musculoskeletal health. [Extracted from the article]
