The underlying cause is psychological in nature. PNEE may be diagnosed by video EEG monitoring but sometimes can be diagnosed based on a description of the event and a psychological evaluation.

The hip flexor muscles are in the front of the thigh. They are made up of the iliopsoas (i-lee-uh-sow-uhs), sartorius (saar-taw-ree-is), and rectus femoris (rek-tuhs feh-mr-uhs) muscles. They allow the hip to lift up, or flex. Muscle attaches to bone via a tendon. A hip flexor strain occurs when the muscle and tendon attached to the pelvic bone are injured.

Too much lordosis occurs when the spine in the lower back (lumbar) curves inward, creating a reverse “C” shape or swayback look where the buttocks and stomach are more prominent....
