flexor-dominant posture
or "flexion-dominant" – but there really is not enough context to tell whether this is a useful term for you
Discussion
"Como consecuencia de esto y de Ia hipotonía, presenta una importante alteración de la postura." Su actitud postural es en flexión. (Text after that says: "No presenta una actividad neuromuscular "patológica" que le Ileve a esta actitud en flexión." If that helps as context related to the Ictus and patient's disabilities caused by it.
