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.
