The adductors of the thigh group are responsible for bringing the thigh towards the midline of the body, and this action is called adduction. Flexion of the thigh at the hip joint is also a secondary action of the adductors. Abduction of the thigh is the opposite action and is performed by the abductor muscles. Flexion/extension of the trunk is performed by the rectus abdominis and erector spinae muscles, respectively.
