title: [A contribution to the origin of lordotic curved back through persisting abdominal breathing (pBA) (author's transl)].
abstract: Man, once quadrupedal, purchased his erect posture at the cost of back problems arising in middle age if he does not successfully convert from quadrupedal (abdominal) breathing to bipedal (chest) breathing. Many persisting abdominal breathers (pBA) at rest go to health spas 4-5 times or more at public expense in order to relieve their lower back pain. Due to the persisting abdominal breathing at rest, however, very little improvement in the condition is possible. We must discover abdominal breathers as small children between the ages of 2 and 4 in the routine medical check-ups and re-train them. If this is not accomplished, the failure of a small child to convert when he learns to walk costs the public many millions of unneccessary marks a few decades later.
