What is a feature of lower crossed syndrome's postural signs?

  1. Short and tight upper abdominal muscles

  2. Forward sway of upper femur

  3. Decreased thoracic kyphosis

  4. Increased curve to the lumbar spine

The correct answer is: Forward sway of upper femur

A feature of lower crossed syndrome's postural signs is a forward sway of the upper femur. This is a common symptom seen in individuals with lower crossed syndrome where the muscles in the hips and thighs become weak and tight, resulting in poor posture and an increased curve in the lumbar spine. The other options (short and tight upper abdominal muscles, decreased thoracic kyphosis, and increased curve to the lumbar spine) are all examples of postural changes that may occur in other musculoskeletal conditions, but are not specific to lower crossed syndrome.
