Abduction has a structure moving away from a midline reference point. Let the name help you: To "abduct" means to take something away. That's exactly what happens during this body movement: The structure is being taken away from a midline reference point.
Adduction is the opposite: it has a structure added back toward the midline reference point.
In this video, I demonstrate the following:
-Abduction and adduction of the arm (shoulder joint)
-Abduction and adduction of the thigh (hip joint)
-Abduction and adduction of the toes
-Abduction and adduction of the fingers
-Abduction and adduction of the thumb
-Abduction and adduction of the wrist (also called radial deviation and ulnar deviation)
