After some minor research, now I'm almost sure that "угол пояснично-крестцового отдела" should be translated as "lumbosacral angle" here.

See http://www.answers.com/topic/lumbosacral-angle
The angle between the plane of the upper border of the sacrum and the horizontal in a standing position. Poor posture can exaggerate the lumbosacral angle and contribute to static back pain. The angle can be reduced by doing corrective exercises involving the abdominal and gluteal muscles.
