Abduction is a movement of a body part away from the median plane of the body (think someone raising their leg or arm away from their side). Adduction is just the opposite, meaning movement of a body part toward the median plane of the body.
Adduction refers to a motion that pulls a structure or part toward the midline of the body, or towards the midline of a limb. Dropping the arms to the sides, or bringing the knees together, are examples of adduction. In the case of the fingers or toes, adduction is closing the digits together.
