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. In the case of fingers and toes, it refers to bringing the digits together, towards the centerline of the hand or foot. Adduction of the wrist is also called ulnar deviation.
