Question: 1 / 445

Which set of muscles is incorrectly paired with its syndrome?

Facilitated muscles in upper crossed syndrome: Suboccipitals

Weak muscles in lower crossed syndrome: Gluteus maximus

Facilitated muscles in lower crossed syndrome: Deep cervical spine flexors

The other options are incorrect because they do not match the characteristics of the given syndromes. Upper crossed syndrome is characterized by tight, facilitated muscles in the chest, upper back, and neck, which makes option A correct. Lower crossed syndrome is characterized by weak and lengthened muscles in the hips, lower back, and thighs, making option B correct. Additionally, option D is incorrect because the serratus anterior is actually a facilitated muscle in upper crossed syndrome.
