Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lumbosacral angle is formed by the lines connecting the midpoint of L1 to the midpoint of S1 and the vertical line. An increased lumbar lordosis results in an increase in the lumbosacral angle. L5-S1 shearing refers to a forward displacement of the L5 vertebra on the sacrum, which can also contribute to an increase in the lumbosacral angle. Therefore, an increased lumbar lordosis with L5-S1 shearing is associated with an increase in the lumbosacral angle.
