I have a strange problem regarding followers. After my last question it went down hill. I still have no idea what is happening to my follower.
After the last fiasco, Serana has still not returned BTW, I recruited my wife and companion Aela.
We went through the Unearthed quest as a follower and me. But she got hit very early on by spells. Now she is crawling everywhere. It looks like this:
This is everywhere, she never gets up.
I tried Grand Healing her, but no go. She is crawling everywhere, even in rooms that I cleared on my own (Reason I took her is to clear said rooms).
What is going on? I did install the unofficial fix to dragonborn. Thanks.

There are chances where the follower is stuck in a position, could be this or also in fighting stance.
Normally the best way is to load a saved game before this happened instead of continuing to play since there is a chance that this is not possible to fix.
Other options would be to do something that resets the position. I would try to use the fus-roh-dah on her to throw her over. She will then have to get up again form the floor.
The change of stance needs a trigger. So to sheath the weapons or to get up from crawling, there needs to be a change in situation that causes the trigger. If the system overlooks one trigger, the follower is stuck in the stance. You have to re-initiate a trigger to change the stance again. I am not sure what kind of attack would work since I am not sure how the follower would normally react to an attack while crawling. However a fus-ro-dah normally topples players over completely and then initiates the "get up from the ground" movement, and I am quite sure that if you manage to topple her over, she will not get into the crawling stance.
