The psoas paradox occurs when the?

Firstly, To understand the Psoas Paradox, the Psoas are a muscle that attaches at 2 ends, that being the transverse process of the T12-L5 and inserts to Lesser trochanter of the hip. Upon contraction this muscle (like all muscle groups) contract at both ends, thereby raising the thigh upwards towards an erect trunk and pulls the lumabr spine into a curve (Lordosis). The paradox of this is that upon passive thigh raising towards the trunk, the lower spine actually rather flattens than becoming more lordotic. This is due to the fact that upon passive flexion of the thigh, the Psoas undergoes compressive strain thereby causing the muscle to be slack about its attatchment (lumbar spine Transverse processes) The difference between active and passive muscle tension is what causes this "Paradox"
