episthotonos/emprosthotonos
I think it's actually the opposite of "opisthotonus" (muscular spasm causing the body to arch backwards) - that is, episthotonos.
The term "episthotonos" doesn't seem to be used much but rather "emprosthotonos/emprosthotonus" to mean that the body instead arches forwards.
I couldn't find the term "episthotonos" being used much in French either but I did find the below reference when searching for it but unfortunately I couldn't open the article. It defines "episthotonos" as "being in a curled up position, i.e. bent forward, not backwards = chien de fusil). This references also fits in with the mention of "dyskinésies":
"Trouble de la ... Les crises dyskinétiques On note l'episthotonos (en chien de fusil)" (here is the link to the website, if you search this quote you should also find it on Google: https://www.scribd.com/doc/137234898/Cours-de-Psychiatrie)
