English term or phrase: guarding

Es el título de una fila en una escala de dolor. ¿Defensa? Parecería ser algo así, pero suena raro. Después dice: Lying quietly, no positioning of hands over areas of body

Gracias!

postura antiálgica

Explanation:
Podría referirse a esta postura aunque deberás confrontarlo con el contexto para estar completamente seguros.

En el diccionario crítico de dudas inglés-español de medicina, entre otras consideraciones que no vienen al caso, se dice lo siguiente en relación a guarding:

En inglés llaman postural guarding a nuestra 'postura antiálgica' (en reposo) o actitud antiálgica (en movimiento).

Esta definición es de otra página:
Postura antiálgica o antálgica: posición que adopta el enfermo para evitar el dolor.

Si los espasmos son abdominales, creo que se está refiriendo a un cólico. Suerte! Un saludo.
