Default Hamster behaviour - arched back

Okay I’m back again to pick your knowledgable brains! Just a quick one this time!

So recently Yuki walks around the cage with her back slightly arched and a bit of a waddle. A little while back she had a series of fits that affected her back legs I believe, but has had nothing since then and is back to walking fine.

She doesn’t do this all the time, like when I hold her or she’s out of the cage but here and there does this odd little walk - to me it looks like she’s puffing herself up to look bigger, the walk is a bit grumpy and kind of reminds me of the walk guinea pigs do when they feel like they need to show off.

I check them constantly and she has no injuries and looks well. Does not appear to be in pain, no squeaking and eating/drinking as normal and wheel is open and does not arch her back. So is this a behavioural thing??

Thank you for any help!
