  3. Increased lumbar curve and forward sway of upper femur

  4. Flat back and rounded shoulders

While decreased lumbar curve and forward head may be present, they are not exclusive to this condition. Similarly, increased thoracic kyphosis, or rounding of the upper back, may also be seen, but it is not a defining feature of lower crossed syndrome. Option D, flat back and rounded shoulders, is also incorrect as it does not mention key postural changes in the lower body. The best answer is option C, which accurately describes the postural signs of increased lumbar curve and forward
