Adductor Magnus/Longus/Brevis, Gracilis, Pectineus
Hip abduction, as well as hip adduction, is in the frontal plane.
hip extensor, gluteus maximus
The typical range of hip abduction degrees in a healthy individual is between 45 to 50 degrees.

In the canine: the gluteal muscles (superficial, middle, deep).
The antagonist of the glutes, or gluteus maximus, is the hip flexors. These muscles are responsible for flexing the hip joint, while the glutes are responsible for extending the hip joint. Strengthening both the glutes and hip flexors is important for maintaining balance and stability in the hips.

Flexion, abduction, external rotation
The primary antagonist for hip flexion is the gluteus maximus, as it functions to extend the hip joint. Additionally, the hamstring muscles, particularly the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris, also play a role in opposing hip flexion. When the hip flexors contract to lift the thigh, these muscles act to control or resist that movement.
The capsular pattern of the hip is limitation of internal rotation, abduction, and flexion, in that order. This pattern typically suggests joint capsule involvement in conditions such as hip osteoarthritis.
The recommended range of motion in hip abduction for optimal performance and injury prevention in athletes is typically between 45 to 60 degrees. This range allows for proper hip stability and mobility during athletic movements.
To prevent or alleviate a hip abduction cramp during exercise, you can try stretching before and after your workout, staying hydrated, and ensuring you have proper form while exercising. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises for the hip abductor muscles can help prevent cramps.
