The condition of being bent or curved forward, especially in anatomy referring to organs leaning forward from their normal position.
From Latin 'ante' (forward) and 'flexio' (the act of bending), forming the noun describing the state or action of forward bending.
Before medical imaging, doctors had to develop vocabulary to describe what they felt by touch during exams—'anteflexion' is one of those tactile discoveries that helped them understand normal anatomy without being able to see inside the body.
