In my research. Abduction, in functional anatomy, is a movement which draws a limb away from the median (Sagittal) plane of the body. It is thus opposed to adduction.
deltoid
Abduction of the foot is primarily facilitated by the action of the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis muscles, which are located on the lateral side of the lower leg. Additionally, the tibialis posterior can assist in foot abduction. These muscles work together to move the foot away from the midline of the body.
Abduction of the arm is caused by contraction of the deltoid and supraspinatus muscles, which pull the arm away from the body. This movement allows for raising the arm to the side and is important for various shoulder and arm activities. Injuries or neurological conditions affecting these muscles or their nerve supply can lead to difficulty with arm abduction.
Coracobrachialis Muscle
Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation at the hip, and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.
The major muscle that abducts the humerus is the Deltoid. (all muscles move in conjuction, there may be more muscles that contribute to the abduction of the humerus) pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi
Using a leg abduction and adduction machine can help strengthen the inner and outer thigh muscles, which can improve overall leg strength, stability, and balance. This can be beneficial for activities like walking, running, and sports that require strong leg muscles.
Shoulder abduction in the frontal plane primarily involves the deltoid muscle, particularly the middle fibers, which are responsible for lifting the arm away from the body. The supraspinatus, a rotator cuff muscle, also plays a crucial role in initiating the abduction movement. Together, these muscles enable the arm to move laterally and raise it upward.
Kidnapping.
The primary agonist for the abduction of the arm is the deltoid muscle, particularly its middle fibers. The supraspinatus muscle also plays a crucial role, especially in the initial 15 degrees of arm abduction. Together, these muscles facilitate the lifting of the arm away from the body.
In the canine: the gluteal muscles (superficial, middle, deep).
Abductor muscles are the muscles which cause abduction. prime example being lateral head of the shoulder abducts your arms to the side of your body. similarly you have the muscles in your lower body which abducts your legs to the sides.
