What is "abductor"?

The abductor is a muscle that functions to move a body part away from the midline of the body. It is involved in lateral or outward movements. There are various abductor muscles throughout the body, such as the abductor muscles of the hip, which are responsible for moving the leg away from the body's center. The abductor muscles play a crucial role in maintaining balance, stability, and proper alignment of the body during activities like walking, running, and standing. They provide the necessary strength and control for lateral movements and contribute to overall body coordination.
