Which is a normal curve found in a spine that is properly aligned?
Lumbar lordosis
Loss of lumbar lordosis?
Lordosis is a backward curvature of the spine, while kyphosis is a forward curvature of the spine. The term lumbar referrs to the lower back. In the lumbar region the back is supposed to have lordosis. So loss of lordosis is when the natural curvature of the spine is absent.

With scoliosis, the vertebrae make an S or C shape when viewed head-on.
