Welcome to HC.
It does sound as though it may be an age issue, in the UK the extreme heat this year was stressful for hams & especially older ones.
A hunched back along with her continuing to be less active could be a sign that she's in pain, it's very hard to say without seeing her but if you are worried it might be a good idea to have your vet check her.
