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.
Abduction and adduction are usually side-to-side movements, such as moving the arm laterally when doing jumping jacks. Abduction: moving away from the bodyâs midline. Adduction: moving toward the bodyâs midline. The gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, tensor fasciae latae, and sartorius are muscles that abduct the hip.
