Abduction and adduction motions occur within the coronal plane and involve medial-lateral motions of the limbs, fingers, toes, or thumb. Abduction moves the limb laterally away from the mid-line of the body, while adduction is the opposing movement that brings the limb toward the body or across the mid-line.


Basically, it says that it is Abduction/Adduction.
